We  learned about the role of the School Council then wrote about what we would like to improve .  We  then voted for who we  wanted  to represent our class.

This term we are exploring the text - The Stone Mouse

Maths - Number and the Number system 

Students have used numicon and prior knowledge to partition  2 digit and 3 digit numbers.

Students have used the fluid partitioning strategy to partition numbers.  They have also used different equipment to show the targetted number in different ways.

Cooking

Spartans have investigated national dishes and learned how to use knives safely to make  a Greek Salad.

An important part of our learning is washing, wiping up and putting away the equipment we used.
