This week we read a story about A Horse Called El Dorado. The story was about a young boy who dreams of having a horse. He eventually meets El Doorado his horse and they embark on wonderful adventures together, with many lessons about friendship, trust and courage. The children also worked on adjectives, vocabulary work, synonyms and working with sound.
Maths
We continued to further develop fractions this week adding and subtracting and problem solving with fractions. Coverting to improper fractions and finding the common denominator. Cooking and baking is a great way to further develop maths skills measuring out 3/4 cup of sugar, 1/3 tablespoon of salt.
