What has cake got to do with fractions?


What a yummy cake!! Mrs Prichard first cut the cake into 4 pieces and we had to say how many pebbles were on 3/4 of the cake (there were 16 pebbles altogether). We then had to share the cake evenly into 26.

What plastics can we recycle?

We are looking at recycling, reusing and reducing. We know that plastic can be recycled but not all of it. Look for a recycling symbol on the bottom of your plastic. If it has a 1 or 2 on it that means it can be recycled. We have some questions which we want to find the answers to.

Can the plastic on our chairs be recycled?

Can gladwrap be recycled?

Can museli bar wrappers be recycled?

Can you recycle computer plastic?

Can plastic toys be recyled, such as lego?

Can cellotape be recycled?

I hope everyone is behaving!

What do I need to do this week at home?

We all have our basic facts sheet at home so know what to work on next. Just spend 5 minutes a day working on your next basic fact. Remember to read every night and talk to someone about what you have read. This week discuss with your parents why it is important to learn to swim.

What are these?











Our creations are evolving. Who is that behind the mask?
