Hello,
In English this week we continued writing our biographies about Dr Thomas Barnardo.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been multiplying fractions by integers and fractions and Mrs Trotter's group have been converting improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa.
The choir have been out this week and are again next week and the UKS2 football team have a fixture again tonight. Lots of things going on and lots of children representing school in different ways once again!
Have a lovely weekend :)

Hi,
In English this week we did some more work on features of a biography and started writing our introductions about Dr Thomas Barnardo.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been adding and subtracting mixed numbers and Mrs Trotter's group have been looking at equivalent fractions.
In topic, we learnt about Victorian punishments (we are very grateful after that lesson that we live in 2025!).
In PSHE, we discussed the importance of tolerance and respect.
Have fun at the Christmas Fayre tomorrow - sadly I can't make it but I am hoping I win a raffle prize!
Have a lovely weekend :)

Hello,
A shorter week this week to make room for our training day tomorrow.
In English, we have been researching Dr Thomas Barnardo and starting to write biographies.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been adding and subtracting fractions and Mrs Trotter's group have finished multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 and have also moved onto fractions.
In topic, following on from our amazing "jigsaw" work on child labour in the Victorian era, we learnt about the inspirational people who helped change children's lives. See the images below to have a look at our "jigsaw" posters we created in our lessons before and after half term (unfortunately I forgot to take the pictures before they were on the wall!).
Have a great long weekend!
Miss Bairstow :)
