Our whole class reader is The Humans which explores inventions from various civilisations and the impact of these in life today. So far, we have unpicked some key vocabulary and it’s meaning. Spelling Pattern of the Week – words with the “ous” suffix.

We have been converting mixed and improper fractions. The children have used bar models, number lines, and tested their multiplication knowledge to help solve fraction problems.
