Maths
This half term we have been looking at fractions. We have looked at converting improper fractions to mixed number fractions ande vice versa. We have then moved onto comparing and ordering fractions that have different denominators. We have created some rules to help us understand this.
Alongisde learning about fractions, we have continued to practice our times tables and have been improving our fluency of our times tables.
English
In our English, we have started a new book on Ernest Shackleton and his journey to the Antarctic. We have learned about Ernest Shackleton and his crew. We were each given a crew member that we had to research and we created a fact file about them. We have studied the front cover of the book and created our own version.
Georgrpahy
This half term, we have started to look at biomes and climate zones. We have looked at lines of latitude and longitude and marked these on a picture of the Earth. WE have then compared two different counties from the world. One country from near the equator and one country from the arctic circle.
Science
In science, this half term we have looked at Earth and Space. We have learnt about some key vocabulary to do with Space such as orbit, rotate and axis. We have then used these key vocabulary to explain the movement of the Sun, Earth and Moon and what causes day and night.
Bikeability
We have completed our bike ability despite the freezing cold weather and snow. It was great to see so many people developing skills and really growing in confidence on the bike.
