Literacy - Biographies - 2011

We chose a range of famous people to research facts about their lives. We looked at when and where they were born, their childhood and then their adult lives. We also included key events.

Numeracy - Measures Home Learning - 2011

Our home learning task was to use a recipe and increase the amount of ingredients to feed 4, then 10 times more people. We used multiplication facts to calculate the quantities accurately. Some of us even decided to put our measuring and weighing skills to the test by baking a product. We were lucky enough to sample some of the spectacular home baking.

Here are some of the products made, but some were demolished before we had a chance to get a photo!
