Maths English This half term we will be focusing on fractions with a link to decimals. We will learn to recognise equivalent fractions, how to add and subtract fractions and how to convert between fraction amounts and decimals. This half term the children will write in a variety of different styles, based around our topic Predators. We will start by researching a predator and writing a non-chronological report about it. Furthermore, the children will start reading ‘The Twits’ as their new class book . Topic & Science Science : Animals and Habitats Topic: Predators is a science based topic with lots of opportunities for children to learn about animals and their environments.
