After working hard on our biography writing unit Team LL are now focusing on developing their reading comprehension skills this week. We are working specifically on developing our inference and comparison skills. We have been applying these skills whilst exploring a range of texts linking to science, geography and stories with flash backs. We are enjoying our second class novel - Point Blank. Team LL have really caught the reading bug.

In maths we have been finding fractions of amounts and will be spending the next couple of weeks deveoping our knowedge and understanding of percentages. We are also learning about fraction, decimal and percentage equivalence. Its official - WE LOVE MATHS!!!

The children in class 6 generated a range of possible investigation questions and created key science vocabulary lists. In pairs the children decided on their own science investigation and carried it out. Children then wrote up their investigations. We are planning to continue to develop our conclusion writing skills further throughout the year.

On Remembrance Day Team LL carried out several activities to learn about and celebrate the sacrifice made by members of our armed forces. They created a Rememrance Day bunting, wrote diary extracts based on true events from WW1 and WW2 and designed their own poppy displays.

After working on place value, calculations and properties of number over the first half term, Team LL have been getting stuck into learning all about fractions. We have looked at fractions of shapes, finding equivalent fractions, comparing and ordering and we are now learning how to calculate fractions. We are making a particular effort to develop our written reasoning skills.
