    ​Writing

    We will be using our assessment of the children’s writing in Term 4 to continue to fill any identified gaps. We are focusing on editing writing to ensure words and spelt correctly, punctuation is used effectively and sentences make sense.

    -Finding the whole if we are given a quarter, half or a third.
    -Recognising what a unit and non-unit fraction is. 


    -Understanding what the numerator and denominator mean in a non-unit fraction.
