Good morning and welcome to our first blog of the summer term. 

Maths - This week the children have been learning how to multiply unit fractions by an integer as well as by non-unit fractions by an integer. 

A unit fraction is when the numerator (top part of the fraction) has the value of one.

A non-unit fraction is when the numerator has a value of two or more. Click on the link below, which will take you to BBC Bitesize, for an explanation, activities and games about multiplying fractions by an integer...

English - This week the children have been learning two new types of sentences to use in their writing...

A 3 bad - (dash) question? sentence begins with three negative words, the easiest form of which is three negative adjectives. The first and second negative adjectives are followed by commas. The third is followed with a dash, then a question which relates to the negative adjectives:

          Blood-thirsty, fearsome, powerful - where did the monster come from?

A 3__ed sentence begins with 3 related adjectives (each of which end in ed): 

                 Frightened, terrified, exhausted, the princess ran for home.

On Wednesday, HH Kids came into class to talk to children about the dangers of smoking. They learned that cigarettes contain more than 4000 different chemicals! Also, they worked out that an average smoker spends £4599.00 every year on cigarettes! Both the children and the staff were shocked by these facts.

This week's certificate winner was Adam... for just being Adam. Adam works hard in all that he does, contributes to every single lesson and does it all with a big smile on his face. A true asset to the class.
