In Maths over the next half term, Year 6 will be working on everything related to Fractions. So that the children feel happy and never scared about fractions, Mrs. Swart, our star baker T.A., very kindly baked two huge chocolate cakes to accompany our equivalent and simplifying fractions lessons. We all enjoyed this practical and tasty way of learning!
