Firstly we would like to start by congratulating the children in both Year 6 classes for their fantastic sharing assemblies. Lovely loud voices, lots of lines learnt off by heart and some top notch acting. Well done!
In English this week, we read the book The Dead Family Diaz – a beautifully illustrated story based around the festival of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). We enjoying learning about this joyful celebration which honours the spirits of the deceased. We learned some of the Spanish words for the objects which form an integral part in preparation for writing a story in the coming weeks.
In maths, we have spent the week learning to add and subtract fractions using both the common denominator method as well as the butterfly method. We have extended our knowledge to add and subtract mixed numbers. We put all this to practise at the end of the week with an arithmetic quiz.
