What a fantastic week of learning it has been. This week we had the opportunity to celebrate International Mother Tongue Languages Day!
In Literacy this week, we completed a comprehension task called Character Ladders! We had excellent discussions about the characters in our books and had to justify as to why we liked and disliked them.
‘A character ladder is when you draw your favourite and least favourite characters. Your favourite character goes at the top of the ladder and your least favourite character goes at the bottom. ‘ – London
‘You choose characters from your reading book and then you decide who is your favourite and least favourite.’ – Harrison
‘We were doing Spelling Scribble to practise writing our spelling words within the Crescent Moons! Each word is in a different colour’ – Aria
To demonstrate our understanding of sequencing, we had to put instructions in order to create a moving cat!
‘Sequencing is when you put instructions in the correct order from the beginning to end.’ – Hasan
We were successful learners in creating a moving cat!
This week we have been introduced how to use a dictionary!
‘We use a dictionary to find the meaning of a tricky word.’ – Emelia
‘The letters in a dictionary are in alphabetical order’.’ – Luca V.
‘If you are looking for a word, you look at the first letter and then look at the second letter to help you find the word faster.’ – Jace
‘We used the dictionary to find Mrs Amin’s tricky words! It was very funny!’ – Fara
This week we had a special day called HAPPY TWOS-DAY because the date was 2.02.2022! We used our mental maths skills and maths strategies to create calculations only using the number 2!
We have been working hard to solve vertical calculations with carrying.
‘Carrying is when a unit is bigger than 9, and you have to carry over the remainder to the tens column.’ – Kerr
Have you seen our google classroom to see us performing a Hindi song called Shava Shava? We learnt the lyrics to a Bollywood song and learnt about Urdu and Punjabi to celebrate International Mother Tongue Languages Day!
We all came to school dressed up in the colours of the Pakistan Flag!
This week, we have came to the end of our Science Topic ‘Sun Moon and Stars’! It was great to hear the final presentations this week.
Of course, we had the opportunity to play in the fantastic snow!
Next week, we have Parents Evening and I am super excited to share our learning with you! Today, everybody has taken home their Take Home folders. I hope you enjoy looking and reflecting over your child’s learning and jotters.
Please may I ask, that on Monday you return the folder including every single jotter. The worksheets can be kept at home for you to keep! I will see you all next week! Have a wonderful weekend superstars!
Love,
Mrs Amin☺️xx
