2nd - 6th February 2015

Hello everyone!
This week we have been looking at fractions and decimals in Maths. We can now add and subtract fractions with the same denominator. We can also convert between improper fractions and mixed numbers. Converting fractions to decimals was tough going at first, but with continued practise we have the idea now.
How do you spot an improper fraction again?

In English, we continued our focus on playscripts. We know to use loads of description while 'setting the scene' and have moved on to working with dialogue between characters. Children have transformed a comic strip into a playscript, making sure to include detailed stage directions. Provided these are done well, we will be writing our own playscripts next week, so be sure to start thinking about what sort of characters and setting you may want to use!
 

Our top spellers this week were Harley and Erin, with Tannon, Sam, Katie, Cameron and Melody close behind. Study your spellings thoroughly to be in with a chance of getting your name up on the Top Spellers board.
