Maths

During our lessons this week, we have looked at comparing and ordering fractions with the same denominator and comparing and ordering non-unit fractions. We have focussed on two key rules for this.

1. When comparing and ordering fractions with the same denominator, I need to focus on the numerator. The smaller the numerator, the smaller the fraction. The greater the numerator, the greater the fraction.
2. When comparing and ordering unit fractions, I need to focus on the denominator. The smaller the denominator, the greater the fraction. The greater the deno0minator, the smaller the fraction.

Literacy

Following an email from Miss Grayhurst requesting some examples of descriptive writing, we have identified the features of this genre of writing. We have had a focus on the use of powerful adjectives and verbs, the five senses, expanded noun phrases and relative clauses. Following this, we will be planning our own piece of writing to describe our habitat settings.
