We have been learning to combine our knowledge and skills of subtraction and applying number talk strategies to solve chilli word problems.
Everyone chose their level of chilli problems and then selected different number talk subtraction strategies to use. Everyone was challenged to try every strategy at least once.
As part of our Scotland topic we were learning about where foods come from ‘Farm to Fork’ such as oats, milk and bread. After learning about milk production Emily was able to experience milking first hand and shared some photos with us. When learning about lochs and mountains in Scotland we talked about the Gaelic names and meanings they have been given. Rosie brought in a Gaelic book she has from home.
As part of our topic learning about Australia we explored Aboriginal designs and symbols. Matilda brought in her didgeridoo and an Australian hat. We also read the Australian story The Missing Bilbies as part of World Book Day and explored Australian animals.
Well done to our Scottish poetry finalists and winner. Fantastic performances.
We harvested the carrots made in the garden and made them into a delicious carrot soup. We also made bird feeders with apples and sunflower seeds.
