We are now working on our division and starting to make connections between our multiplication facts and division.

We have been choosing which method is best for us – using solid materials, pictures or mental. Some of us used a mixture of strategies.

We had a go at the more formal method of dividing and will be learning more about this next week.

We have been recapping on our French vocabulary this week. As well as answering questions about how we feel, our name, age and the place we live we have been going over the words for classroom objects. We had great fun using our ABCD cards to state which word was correct.

Today we played a game with French colours. We listened for the colour and then we had to locate something that colour in the playground  and run to it. To make it more challenging we then had to listen for more than one colour!

Last week we brainstormed reasons why sleep is important to us. We came up with super ideas.

We have been learning about endangered animals in our free time using the display in our classroom.

Today we learned about Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We wrote about him and then created a love heart in the style of his Glasgow Rose.

Using Classflow we brainstormed ways we use the Internet and the types of personal information we should never give to people. We grouped our answers and had a good chat about them.

We then took part in a quiz about on-line safety and answered using our ABC cards.

Later we looked at some scenarios and decided if we would accept them, decline them, or check with an adult. We used avatars we had created earlier to show our responses.

Finally we made 3D posters to show what we had learned.

We have been learning different breathing exercises and today we ranked them in order of our preference.

We had a good chat about our new phoneme.  We noticed that in the words circle and circus there is a hard c and a soft c. We also noticed that our spelling words contain a lot of split phonemes.

A huge well done to these children for sharing their silver award work.

We learned lots of benefits to sponsoring a child. It was great to see our explanation text skills being used. We linked what we heard to the rights of the child articles.

It was also great to hear about the recycling that is going on in our community. We had a look at some of the things that our recycling materials get changed into.

We were researching how much water a child should drink each day. We then measured out 250ml so that we could see how much each glass of water should contain.

We had a challenge as the containers looked different and  had different scales.

We then looked at the scales on our bottles and worked out what measurement they were jumping up in.
