3B Macmillan Coffee Morning, Subtraction and Reading Buddies

We had the really important job of hosting the Macmillan Coffee Morning this week. Mrs Fraser and Mrs Brown split us up and gave us different time slots that we would be responsible for. During our slot we had to meet and greet visitors, escort people through the school, collect money in the collection buckets, serve cakes and run our ‘pre loved’ book stall. It was a really busy day but we helped raise over £700 for the charity.

We still had lots of time this week to fit in some Numeracy and we were working on subtraction to and from the decade, we were revising numbers before and after and we started to learn our 3 times table. Mrs Hallahan continued to teach us all about telling the time.

In Literacy we began reading with our new reading partner. This meant we were responsible for reading more of the book than we would be if we were reading as part of our larger reading group. We also became ‘reading detectives’ and hunted for any words containing our focus sound for the week. This week that sound was ay. We collected any words we found on our magnifying glass and transferred them onto our cupboard door so we could all read and spell them.

Here are some photos of our week…
