Language
Matildas – Through our class reader we have been learning to find out the meaning of words without reaching for a dictionary.
BFG- BFG have got a new guided reading book called the Dark Secrets. We have been predicting what it will be about.
Foxes- We have continued to read our class reader, The Shrimp, and we have been practising our spelling words by playing the look say cover game.
Maths
All of the groups had fun when we took the learning outdoors this week.
Circles- We have been working on length by converting units of measure from cm to metre. When we were outside we used our estimation skills to guess how far the Olympic record for the long jump is, then checked our estimation by measuring.
Rectangles- We have started a new maths topic – decimals. We raced against each other outside to see who could win the fractions game.
Octagons- We have been learning about pictograms and Venn diagrams and we used materials we found outside to make outdoor Venn diagrams.
Music
Mr Crockett came in this week and we were learning about notes on the stave.
Science
We have been learning about the internal structure of the earth.
