In maths this afternoon, we have finished the term off with some more equivalent fractions. We have worked collaboratively again on a number of different tasks and we are gradually getting stronger with our understanding!
Thank you to everyone who attended our family learning event this week. It was lovely to see so many faces in the classroom getting involved with the children’s learning. We were able to dissect a lily, sketch a diagram of a flower and finish off with a very competitive Kahoot quiz (well done Jersey and Aoife!)
I hope that everyone who attended had a great time working with the children and hopefully learnt at least one new thing that you didn’t know before!
Green Top will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 2nd March and this will be a dress up event.
We can’t wait to see which book character you decide to be but please don’t feel that you have to buy a costume – we love seeing the homemade ones!
Young Voices is NEARLY here!! Children will be leaving school at 12pm to arrive at Utilita Arena in time for rehearsals to start at 1pm. Children will have lunch early in school before leaving.
Children will need a packed lunch for their tea and plenty to drink – We will be having an hour at 5pm for children to be able to eat in the arena before the concert begins.
I have received all of the children’s T-Shirts and Torches and will distribute them to the children on the day. Children should come to school in their usual school uniform and can change their T-Shirts before we leave.
Concert Times:
Venue doors open at 6pm for all adults who are attending. The Concert starts at 7pm and finishes at 8:45pm. All adult tickets will be given to children by the end of tomorrow to bring home at 3pm. There is also a letter that gives further information about parking.
All children are to return to school on the coach and no children will be permitted to leave the arena with their parents. The coach will drop everyone off at the main school gates at approximately 9:45pm.
Take a look at some of the 1fantastic maths-themed outfits on display in Class 13!
WOW! Crew Taylor sure made it a tough competition but I’m so proud of Crew Knowles for not giving up! A huge well done to Crew Taylor for absolutely smashing the battle!
Today is NSPCC Number Day and TTRockstars are holding an NSPCC Rocks event! Support our school by logging in to your TTRockstars and taking part! The competition is open until 7.30pm.
If you don’t have a TTRockstars account you could play other online games on websites such as Hit the Button or Maths Frame!
Have fun!
In maths today, the children have been looking at equivalent fractions. We stared by shading different shapes to see visually how two different fractions, with different numerators and denominators, could actually be equal to one another.
We then moved onto the iPads where we accessed a maths site called ’Mathigon.’ Here, the children were able to move different sized fractions around and investigate which fractions were equivalent. The children really enjoyed using this interactive tool and were able to find some interesting equivalent fractions! The link is below for the children to use at home.

It’s the final update before the competition closes tomorrow! There’s still a lot of movement at the top with places chopping and changing and new people pushing to finish high up on the leaderboard. Who is going to finish in the top five by the end of the school day tomorrow?
