Can you believe it’s the middle of November already??
Literacy
We continued working on letter writing this week. We wrote a letter to a friend about how to keep safe around medicine, which we have been learning about during Health and Wellbeing time. We have been working really hard on the phoneme ‘tch’ this week as well. We are enjoying the new active literacy activities.
Lauren was our star writer this week. Well done Lauren!
Lauren: "I wrote my letter to Michelle. I told her all the rules. I used some questions marks and an exclamation mark!"
We completed a carousel of VCOP activities today to get better at using these skills.
Numeracy
We enjoying sharing our learning with the parents. We were working on number bonds, partitioning and empty number lines and did some code breakers.
Michelle: "I liked showing my mum how to play Hit the Button. It was fun."
We have been continuing to learn about Information Handling with Mr Hay. Some of us created questionnaires today. Other groups were working on Venn & Carroll diagrams and another group was working on bar charts. Next week we are going to be creating our own graphs in class.
Jamie R: "We have been making up our own surveys. We were making up questions about favourite foods and birth months. It was exciting."
Health and Wellbeing
We created a poster about how to keep safe when using medicine which we are going to share with other classes in the school. We continued learning how to play basketball. This week we have been practicing bouncing and passing the ball.
Lewis: "We have been doing basketball. We have been learning how to keep control of the basketball. We have to switch our hands to use our left and right."
Other Curricular Areas
We learned about why we hold Remembrance Day and we held a minutes silence.
Emily: "We had a one minute silence. We remember all the people in World War 1 who died. I wore my poppy to school."
We continued to learn some autumn themed songs in music. The words were quite funny. In ICT we are typing letters that we wrote last week. We are working hard on learning how to use Microsoft Word.
Have a lovely weekend.
Mr Hay! 🙂
