Belgrove Senior Girls' School

This month we have been looking at fractions 1 in school. We have been learning about halves, quarters, eighths, tenths, thirds, sixths, ninths, twelfths and fifths. We have been using fraction wheels and walls to compare fractions – equivalent fractions and ordering fractions smallest to biggest

We have focused on problems where we are finding a fraction of a number e.g. What is 1/8 of 72? yes, nine. What is 3/8 of 72? Yes, 27.

The girls have worked extremely hard to develop their understanding in this area which has been fantastic to see – well done girls!

I have linked below some useful websites to revise these concepts:

We have been very busy in room 8 creating lots of different pieces since our return to school. Have a look at some of our fantastic art below. We hope you like it!

Well done girls!! You made it to the last week of the school year! You have worked so hard this year, especially over the 13 weeks. You should all be really proud of yourselves.

This weeks plan is linked below. Remember to check SEESAW where I will be uploading some fun activities for our final week. I am really looking forward to hearing from you all this week and seeing all of the fun things that you are getting up to at home!

Bain taitneamh as!

Hello girls,

Today is all about getting active and having fun! All activities here are optional and I would like you to pick something you enjoy doing!

Below I have linked some suggested activities but I am sure many of you can get creative today on how you get active 🙂

You could create your own gymnastic routine and perform it.

You can research a sports hero of yours and complete a project about them.

I hope you all have a fantastic day, I would love to hear what you got up to on Seesaw!
