Hello everyone,
Welcome back to our weekly blog. We have been extremely busy reinforcing our numbers to 100. We have been sequencing, ordering and identifying numbers before and after.
We have been learning how to tell the time!
‘We have been learning about quarter past and quarter to.’ – Emelia
‘Quarter past is when the long hand points to 3 and the minutes is 15.’ – Oscar
‘Quarter to is when the long hand points to 9 and the minute is 45.’- Yahya
‘The time tells you the hour then the minutes.’ – Adam
At the end of each day , someone gets a chocolate from our advent calendar! We come into school each day, super excited to see what our naughty elf Snowflake has been up to!
During Literacy, we had a debate and discussed the following statement in groups. We had to justify our reasons too!
Non-Fiction texts are more interesting than Fiction books.
‘I prefer fiction texts because they are more imaginative and more exciting.’ – Thomas
‘I think non-fiction books are more interesting because they have facts and real information.’ – London
It is very important to continue our letter formation to ensure we have the neatest handwriting possible. Look at how neat our letters are!
We have been using our knowledge of nouns, adjectives and verbs to describe Christmas images!
We have been working hard to improve our comprehension skills by answering in full sentences and using the text to help us.
Skimming and Scanning is extremely important to help us find the main ideas! We will continue working on this skill to ensure we are answering questions with a correct and accurate answer.
‘Skimming is when you search for the main idea in a whole text quickly. You can normally find this information in the first line of each paragraph.’ – Fara
‘Scanning is where you search for key words in a passage.’ – Harrison
We were using our scanning skills to find common words!
On the last week of school, we will have a little surprise for you on Google Classroom! We will have a video of us performing some Christmas songs! We can’t wait to show you our singing. dancing and actions!
Wow! What a week! Although it is the lead up to Christmas, we are continuing to work extremely hard every day.
I wonder what we will be doing next week…!
Have a wonderful week! Love, Mrs Amin ☺️ xx
