Literacy

For writing this term, we are writing and creating our own Christmas Story books.  We have been discussing how to structure a story that contains two different dilemmas that will engage our readers.  We have been looking at Pie Corbett’s Story Mountain to help us plan.  We have also been thinking about how to grip our readers from the very first sentence.  Once we have created our books, we will be taking them home to share.

 

Numeracy

Over the last few weeks, we have been looking at negative numbers.  We have created numberlines that contain negative numbers and been calculating the difference between two numbers on the numberline.  Next week we will explore where negative numbers are used in real life.

 

 

Climate Change 

Linking into COP-26, we have been discussing climate change by mainly looking at our Carbon Footprints.  We looked at the 5 different areas that make up our Carbon Footprint.  After looking at the different areas we thought about our school and ourselves, and we created 3 goals that we would like to work on to help reduce our footprint.  We have displayed these in the corridor.
