...answering 20 questions quicker than Usain Bolt can run 100m!!
This week, we have been learning about equivalent fractions and how to compare fractions that have different denominators. Our multiplication and divisions facts have helped hugely with this and are now so sharp, that we have some members of our class who can answer 20 questions quicker than Usain Bolt can run 100m (9.58 seconds)!!
We are really enjoying designing fictional minibeasts to write non-chronological reports about – they have provided us with the perfect opportunity to immerse ourselves in rich technical vocabulary.
We loved our cricket session on Thursday afternoon, which was part of the “Chance to Shine,” campaign that encourages more young people to get involved with cricket. We’ve also been doing circuit training on Tuesday mornings, which has been a really rewarding challenge. It’s been great to see the effort and achievement of everyone improve over the last three weeks.
Finally, Mr Clark has been in a good mood for the latter half of the week because Leeds United have returned to the top of the league – let’s hope that continues!
