Fun With Fractions

We have had some great fun with fractions this week. In order to help us really understand what a fraction is we used lots of practical resources to create different representations of fractions. We begun by creating unit fractions and continued to build on our knowledge by creating non-unit fractions of shapes and amounts. We have also made our own fractions wheels, which we plan to use throughout our fractions topic this term.

This Is Your Life

We have been learning about the features and structure of biographies and to help us understand we created ‘This is Your Life’ performances. We used some biographical text examples as our research and identified all the main events in our celebrities lives. We then thought of guests we could invite onto our show to interview. We thought about the chronology of our guests and the events that were most important to discuss. We all had great fun and can’t wait to start writing our own biographies on Nelson Mandela.
