We will reply after we have done some work on our new topic: 'Ho'way the Lads!' - all about famous people from our local area. I spoke to Miss Witherspoon tonight also about opportunities for more links over the coming months! Dear Year 6Today is HALLOWEEN!!!

We found that 1/2 was the same as 2/4, which was equivalent to 4/8. Today, we will use the 'robin hood' method to cancel down fractions to their simplest form.
