Writing Money as Decimals

Crew Hamill kick-started their money unit by exploring different amounts of money and ensuring we knew how to write them correctly with a pound sign and decimal point. We took part in a carousel of activities:

  1. Table 1 – Select a card, write the amount on the card in decimals.
  2. Table 2 – Money problems – choose a question, solve, repeat.
  3. Table 3 – Physical money – dip your hand into the box to pull out 3 amounts (coins or notes). Write your total in decimals.

Independent Writing In Crew Hamill

Crew Hamill have worked extremely hard over the last few days to complete their independent write. We began with a recap of our grammar, ensuring we can still label the verb, subject and everything else in our sentences to ensure they are punctuated correctly. We then used a stimulus of a short film, Francis to create a descriptive piece of writing. We have chotted ideas together as a crew in order to complete a setting description of where Francis is as well as a character description of Francis herself. We have then used the resources available to us – word banks, chotting sheets and pictures – to write our descriptions.
