Year 5 and 6 are learning to compare common fractions with related denominators and to solve addition and subtraction problems using fractions.

Students have built their knowledge through reading, writing, and discussion tasks linked to different environments. They have creatively showcased their understanding using stop-motion animations and iMovie projects. It has been fantastic to see their engagement, collaboration, and growing confidence across all areas.

In K–1 Maths, students continue to build strong foundations in number and shape through hands on activities and engaging games. They are developing confidence in counting, recognising patterns, and exploring 2D shapes in meaningful, practical ways.
