Maths:
The Potion Masters have been learning how to give and follow directions. We had to give directions for our partner to follow using a map of our classroom.
The Dragon Mages have been measuring weight using two pan scales. We found out how much was in a kilogram. It was heavy!
The Star Lords have also been finding out the weight of different items. We were even beginning to read different scales and solve problems relating to weight!
Language:
We had to write the next part of a story written by Dick King Smith. We found this a wee bit tricky but are looking forward to practicing these skills some more! We also practiced our clarifying skills using our guided reader. We had to read on, read back, read around and use the pictures as clues to try and find the meaning of unknown words.
During our Rainforest topic we had quite a heated debate about deforestation. One side had to argue for cutting down the rainforests and the other against! We had to write down our main arguments and then be prepaired to respond to other people’s. It was a great afternoon!
