This week we were learning to run in and skip in the big rope and then run back out. We  also focused on our passing during basketball and got the chance to play some mini games.

This week we were learning about the suffix – ful and finished part 1 of our Holes novel. We have been learning to use descriptive and figurative language in our writing and wrote our own descriptions of a storm scene.

We also got the chance to make our very own play-dough, it was great fun and we loved getting to play with it after.

Remember: Swimming starts on our first day back – Tuesday 21st October. Please remember your bus pass and come prepared with everything you need.

This week we have been continuing to work on our skipping and basketball skills in PE.

In numeracy we’ve been working on completing a range of addition and subtraction calculations, involving money. We have been  continuing to work on telling the time, using analogue and digital clocks.

In literacy we have been learning about the soft c spelling rule, and applying this correctly within our work. We have also been continuing to work on our descriptive writing, using similes, alliteration, personification and interesting adjectives to improve our writing.

We have also been exploring the different emotions that we might feel and discussing situations when we might experience these.

We also created our own lava lamps in science. We discovered that the salt pulled the oil down to the bottom & once the salt dissolved then the oil went back to the top.
