Blog update for 6th October, 2017
Literacy: This week we did some imaginative writing using VCOP and WOW words. Our stories were about ‘The Magic Watch’ which included a watch that took you back in time to World War I or even forward in time to when robots rule the world! Some of our stories invented new places such as Candy Land or turned you into a different person or creature. For reading, we have been continuing to read aloud and read with expression in our voices. We are developing our comprehension skills using the Key Comprehension books.
Numeracy: For our maths this week, we learned how to estimate using a number line. We chose which numbers to estimate between, such as 0 and 100, 0 and 10,000 or even higher! We used our outdoor space to create these number lines and threw beanbags to give us a number to estimate. Have a look at some of our number lines.
We have also been learning about Roman Numerals as a part of our Romans topic. We know that I is 1, II is 2, V is 5, etc. We will be continuing our Romans topic into the new term as there is so much to learn about these interesting people.
In RME we have continued to learn about Buddhism. Outside in our playground, we created our own Buddhist temples using chalk and we also watched a video about the tallest Buddha statues in the world. The largest one was over 120m tall in China!
In French we practised our numbers and colours, as well as thinking about the names of family members using the Simpsons.
