Well over the last week the children have been learning about fractions to try and answer that very question. They have cut up fruit into halves and quarters and also explored how to find a half, quarter of different shapes and even of a bar of chocolate! Using this new knowledge they have been able to fill a variety of containers using the vocabulary full, half full, nearly full, empty and quarter full. Maybe you could explore fractions at home by making potions with different household items! What a lot of new knowledge they have gained over the last week! Well done Duxbury Class ### Duxbury pics 6 [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_002.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_002.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_001.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_001.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_003.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_003.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_004.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_004.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_005.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_005.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_006.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_006.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_007.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_007.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_008.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_008.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_009.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_009.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_010.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_010.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_012.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_012.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_011.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_011.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_013.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_013.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_014.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_014.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_015.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_015.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_016.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_016.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4376/year1_017.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4376/year1_017.JPG) [ Did cavemen really live in caves?](https://st-josephs-chorley.schudio.com/blog/2015-11-20-13-16-53-did-cavemen-really-live-in-caves) [MORE? ](https://st-josephs-chorley.schudio.com/blog/2015-11-20-13-56-07-more) ![St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/logo/1200250668080298.137XSqlECvZ07rj3bGkr_height640_(6).png) #### St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School Cedar Road Chorley PR6 0JF 01257 265998 01257 233107 © Copyright 2015–2026 St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-josephs-chorley.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
