Happy Friday!

P4F have had a busy start to term 2. It’s been a great start after the October holidays. Here’s an overview of our week:

In literacy, we have been been working hard on our comprehension strategies using our knowledge of the text and answering literal questions such as which page is … on? and matching or unjumbling sentences from our book. Pupils have been working hard on their sentence structure knowledge. Coming to end of our poetry block and we used what we had learned to create poems all about cake and impressed Mrs Ferguson with our work.

In numeracy, we have been focusing on addition. We have been revising our fact families and number bonds, along with practising the commutative law. We spoke about how if we know one fact, for example, 7+3=10, we also know 3+7=10, 10-7=3 and 10-3=7. We have also started adding numbers using the column method which has been tricky at times to remember to keep the numbers stacked, but pupils are making progress each time.

We have started our gymnastics block with Mrs Ferguson and are having great, safe fun learning about different kinds of rolls this week. We are coming to the end of our Wildlife and Habitats topic and are hoping to complete an end of topic assessment next week. Today, we will be focusing on Bonfire night and completing some fun activities.

Have a great weekend!
