In numeracy this term we have been focusing on addition up to 20, 100 and beyond 100.  We have been developing different strategies to support us and have been strengthening our mental agility.  To help us we have played beanbag addition and challenged ourselves to see if we could add more than 2 numbers together.

In literacy we have been writing letters, focusing on the layout of a letter and seeing if we can use different openers.  We have also written persuasive letters to Mrs Strachan using ‘bossy’ language to convince her that their shop name and what is sold in our role play shop is ‘without a doubt’ the best option to go with!

We have also been developing our ICT skills this term.  Some of us had never worked with a keyboard before so we have been familiarising ourselves with the keys, signing in and out of the chromebook and have even started to type out our persuasive letters.

In health and wellbeing we have been speaking about kindness and what kindness looks like.  We have also been thinking about our bigger emotions we can feel at school sometimes.  We then developed a HWB ‘I feel… So I can…’ display where the children came up with feelings and what somebody could do if they felt that feeling.  This has been getting used very well in class so far.
