Maths

Fractions. We divided numbers by 10 to find tenths and by 100 to find hundredths. We talked about moving numbers to the right once in the place value chart: Th H T O when dividing by 10 and twice to the right when dividing by 100. Here is the Busy Ants sheet we did. Choose the challenge which is right for you. Finding tenths and Hundredths

I introduced the new topic of ‘States of Matter’. We discussed the 3 types: Solids, Liquids & Gases.

We then looked at the particle arrangements. This video clip might help you understand:  clip

We also did our reading skills work and practised our times tables.
