Maths
This week we have looked at the ‘greater than’ and ‘less than’ signs ‘<’ and ‘>’ and deciding which numbers are bigger/ smaller than others. We were looking at the different ways we can ‘make 100’ using different combinations of numbers. We also did this in the whistle speed test, for extra practice.
We played a very competitive game of ‘Doubling Scoot’ which we all loved! 1st place – Lexi and Zack, 2nd place – Elise and Aaron, 3rd place – Khloe and Jack S.
We have been practicing our times tables throughout the week too, still focusing on the 3 and 4.
Group Speed test – practicing 5 times table, dancing dogs came first place with a fantastic 21 seconds! Well done!
Topic
We have been learning about the habitats of different animals and the meaning of herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. We have also looked a little at food chains, we will be looking at this further next week.
Literacy
This week we have been focusing on ‘uplevelling’ our writing using different openers, such as ‘Full of excitement…’ (Zack) or ‘All of a sudden’ (Evie). We then chose an insect to research as part of our topic and we used the information to write ‘A Day in the Life of an Insect.’ We have been trying to include as many ‘WOW words’ as possible – ‘cautiously’ (Layla), ‘spectacular’ (Elise), ‘inspired’ (Jaxon), ‘thoughtfully’ (Alicia).
Our spelling words this week were focusing on the ‘I’ sound, using ie, i-e, y, igh spelling. Everyone took part in our blind spelling game and ‘lightening’ was the trickiest word to spell!
