Macavity, Maths & Mayans

It was lovely to see everyone back after the well-deserved break at half term.  This week in English, we have thoroughly enjoyed reading the classic T.S Elliot poem: Macavity.  This cunning feline, a notorious criminal, manages to evade the authorities whilst carrying out acts of treachery.  Next week, we will be using Macavity to inspire our own poems in the style of T.S. Eliot. 

In maths, we have started a 4-week unit on fractions.  So far, we have looked at simplifying fractions and also finding a common denominator, both of which we will use regularly in our arithmetic practices. 

Both classes have been working hard to prepare their Mayan sharing assemblies.  Amethyst class have written their scripts and will begin rehearsing next week.  Magenta are a week ahead and have made their props, learnt their lines and look forward to welcoming you on Friday 15th in the theatre.

Have a lovely weekend
