Willows went to the library on Monday where we took our books back that we borrowed. We then had a story about bears and chairs (you wouldn’t believe how many words rhyme with bear!) and we chose our own books to take back to school with us.

Here are some photos of our attempts to make a roman mosaic.
Maple have enjoyed learning about tenths and hundredths this morning. They’ve learnt some new vocabulary: equivalent, numerator and denominator! They used their hundred square to represent different hundredths fractions and convert them into tenths.

To make the honey bananas we sliced the bananas then drizzled honey over the top. We then squeezed some lemon on them and sprinkled a little bit of brown sugar and cinnamon over the top.
