Repeated Addition, Fact or Opinion, Emotion Works & Les Couleurs!

As you can tell from the title of our blog, it has been an extremely busy week of learning. It has been great fun!

In Numeracy and Mathematics, we have been continuing to explore hundreds, tens and units to partition numbers and to complete vertical calculations (with and without exchanging).

We have been exploring odd and even numbers!

‘An even number ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8!’ – Oscar

‘An odd number ends in 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 !’ – Gurleen

We have been learning about repeated addition. Repeated addition is adding groups of numbers together multiple times. It is a type of multiplication that will help us learn how to multiply! We had a variety of stations to help us practise solve repeated addition.

We had to solve repeated addition calculations from a board
We made Arrays with play dough
We sorted equal groups using counters
We played Hit the Button – 2, 5, 10 times timetable

In Literacy, we continued to learn about facts and opinions and we performed extremely well in our quiz!

We continue to reinforce important Literacy skills such as scanning to help us locate information within a passage.

The learning doesn’t stop yet! We have also been learning about singular and plural nouns . However, it has became trickier because we have learnt how to change a singular noun into a plural noun by using the correct ending such as es, ies or s.

‘A singular noun is when you have one of an object such as one pencil.’ – Thomas

‘A plural noun is when you have more than one object.’ – Fara

Harrison is extremely proud for finding all of his common words within his word search. WELL DONE!

This week, we have began a health and well-being programme called Emotion Works. Emotion works will help us discuss our feelings and emotions. We will also be learning about strategies on how to regulate our emotions when we feel different emotions such as feeling nervous, anxious or angry.

This week, we were learning to understand different emotions. We were able to identify and draw facial expressions and body language that display an emotion. We related it our own lives too and shared examples of when we feel a certain way.
