Maths
This week, we have been looking at fractions. We looked at finding half and learnt that you will have two equal parts if you cut something in half. To show this we cut a cake in half to share with our partner. We got to eat the cake too so we were very accurate with our cutting! We practised halving numbers by sharing counters into two equal parts.
Art
In Art, we loved working in the style of Ellie Roden. We used the flowers that we pressed at home to create beautiful flower collages.

We have been looking at the traditional tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. We have sequenced events and answered questions about the story. We have also looked at plurals. We learnt that plural means more than one. We looked at the rules for adding s and es to nouns.
