Maths: We are finishing our unit on fractions and are particularly focusing on how we subtract a proper fraction from a mixed number fraction. We are learning how this works when we have to break the whole, and are using different methods to get the answer.
English: We are revisiting different sentence types and why authors use them for effect. We are also starting our new book, My Baba's Garden. Before reading, we will be writing our own predictions.
RE: It is Vocations Week. We will be learning about our class saint, St Philip Neri. He is the Saint of Joy which suits our class perfectly. We are writing advice columns from him, about how we can spread joy around school and are also creating portraits of him for our corridor display.
Homework: Subtracting fractions and grammar, pages 48 - 49.
At Saint Augustine’s Primary School, our school rules are simple yet powerful: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe, and Be the Best You Can Be.
These school rules guide us in everything we do, helping us create a positive, caring, and inspiring learning environment.
Being ready means coming prepared to learn and try our best every day.
Being respectful reminds us to treat others with kindness and value everyone's contributions.
Being safe ensures that we look after ourselves and others, both inside and outside the classroom.
And striving to be the best we can be encourages us to aim high, work hard, and take pride in our achievements.
Together, these rules help us to grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals.
