We’ve had such a busy first week back. This week we have been learning about subtraction in our numeracy work and have been working hard to complete our subtraction calculations. We were also learning about our new Multiplication Masters mental maths initiative that we will be working on throughout the week. We had great fun practising our tables and getting to be the teacher.

In literacy we were learning to write a summary, where we pick out the main points from the chapter and write about it in our own words.

We have also been busy decorating our class pumpkins for the pharmacy and designing some super artwork for the Tesco competition.

It’s hard to believe that we have reached the end of Term 1 already. This week we were learning about sound & how sound travels.

We hope you have a great October break and can’t wait to see everyone back for Term 2.

This week we have been continuing to practise the formal method for addition. We have also been practising our times tables and hope these are going well at home too.

In literacy we have been learning to spell words with the ‘j’ sound. We have also been working hard to improve our vocabulary and played a game of musical WOW words.

In science we were learning about electricity. We built our own circuits and then tried to add in various materials to see which ones would conduct electricity.
