English

Today’s English lesson is all about writing questions properly. Sometimes we forget the difference between writing a question and a statement when we are completing our written tasks. This will hopefully remind you of how to compose a proper question using the correct punctuation.

Maths

For maths today you have another online lesson about fractions. This is an important skill to practice ready for moving into Year 3. This lesson looks at the numerator and denominator and non-unit fractions.

What is a non-unit fraction?
A non-unit fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the top number) is greater than 1. The denominator (the bottom number) can be any whole number. Here are some examples of non-unit fractions: ⅖, ⁷⁄₁₂ and ¾

    Elliot wrote and asked some great questions. He remembered to use a question mark at the end and we talked about words questions begin with. We also played a game on phonics bloom Yes/No Yeti, which involved reading answering questions. Elliot chose a book from the blue band to read but I think we may go up to green tomorrow. This is a great website, thanks for sharing. We will be choosing books daily from there to keep practising with.

      Brilliant! I am glad you found the ebooks useful. I’m more than happy for Elliot to move up a band if you think he is ready. Keep up the good work. Miss Battams 🙂
