Home Learning

We would like the children to show their understanding of fractions or decimals.  They can choose to show the following: adding or subtracting fractions, multiplying fractions, dividing fractions or how to convert a fraction into a decimal. The children can present their learning any way they wish and can even video themselves!  If they choose this option, please email their videos to their class teacher:
