Medium Term Plan
Happy New Year!
The children have enjoyed their first week back. They have started their looking at fractions (improper and mixed number fractions). In English, they had a great time using different instruments looking at syllables ready for writing Haikus! In P.E, Dance, they came up with some good dance moves, focusing on different movements within 8 beats. Have a lovely weekend.
