This week we have been exploring how to work with fractions in more detail, particularly focusing on equivalent fractions, mixed numbers and improper fractions. We also had the pleasure of virtually meeting Emma Caroll – the author of our class novel ‘To the Lighthouse’ – and got to ask a range of questions regarding life as an author…

This lead on nicely to our drama project this week, in which we all took turns reading different roles for the World War Two play ‘Bombs and Blackberries’ (a special shout out to Lucas, Jeffery, Maddie and Harrison for their impressive acting skills!).

The week ended with preparations for our book buddies night, our ‘flashback’ hot write plan and some quick Christmas decorating!

Special shout out to Alex for his fantastic show and tell on refraction! Well done.
