This week we have been continuing the 500 words competition and been typing them up on the laptops. This is a good way to uplevel them also.  Thinking about the success criteria and what might make our writing better especially when we know about VCOP.

Also this week we have been making presentations about Robert Burns. As it was Burns night this week. He was a great man, we read a text about him also and answered some questions about him and his life. These were hard as there were some words we didn’t know but we were great thinking readers and used all the clues.  We could even help eachother clarify harder words.

This week we have been working very hard in literacy. We have been working on comprehension, spelling and story writing. We enjoyed all of the work and developed lots of skills. Also working on our question type skills which are, remembering, understanding, evaluating, applying, analysing.

In maths we have been working on division, multiplication, adding and subtracting. The division destroyers have been working in a new book called primary maths in action. This has very tricky angle work in it we worked with Mrs Watson to take great notes that helped us when we struggled through the independent tasks. The Multiplication Masters have been revising adding, subtracting, division and multiplication. The Subtraction skeletarons have been working on rounding and division. And the times terrors have been working on fractions.

We are all going to miss Emily because she is going to Australia for a MONTH!!!!We are really excited for her and can’t wait to hear all about her trip of a lifetime.
