P2/3 have been learning about what fractions are, why we need to know about them and how we use them. So far we have found simple fractions of shapes (such as halves and quarters) by folding and cutting, ordered simple fractions on number lines and learnt about equivalent fractions by building fraction walls and playing matching fraction games.
Last week P3s found fractions of amounts by applying their knowledge of division. We will be continuing with fraction of an amount this week. We will be assessing each other through discussing the fraction of different types of beads used in our bracelet and necklace designs.
As part of our enterprise project we will running an art sale to sell our creative inventions, most of which are made from recycled materials! It will be held on Friday 31st May, from 11am-12, in the school hall. Some of our fantastic work is on display in the school foyer. Come and have a look!
Next week some of P3 will be continuing with equivalent fractions and adding simple fractions together. Other P3s will be linking their fraction knowledge to decimals and percentages. Continue to reinforce learning at home by playing the fraction games listed in homework diaries : )
