Our Stone Age Houses, Music and Problem Solving!

We have been extremely busy bees this week!

We have been using our voices to discover and explore the rhythm and pitch in Music. We are beginning to move , tap and pass a variety of objects to keep to a beat.

In Numeracy, we have been learning how to solve vertical calculations using our knowledge of tens and units.

‘We have learnt how to write a calculation correctly. We need to make sure the tens and units are underneath one another. ‘ – Hasan

‘In the tuff spot, we are using the pom pom balls to add and subtract numbers.’ – Oscar

‘We were using a calculator to solve our partners secret number. We had to add and subtract!.’ – Max B.

‘Me and London used our calculator and sometimes the number went quite high. Some numbers were over a thousand.’ – Harrison

‘We have been doing problem solving questions.’ – Fara

We have been solving mathematical problems. We have been recognising odd and even numbers and have been adding three or four large numbers mentally.

In Writing, we have been learning about Acrostic poems. This week our focus was on Autumn. We had to make sure we used adjectives to up level our sentences. We have been exploring Alliteration and are beginning to use alliteration to enhance the information with our descriptions.

‘An acrostic poem is when you have a word and each line begins with one letter from the word. Our word was Autumn.’ – Gurleen

‘In Autumn, my first sentence began with A and then the second sentence began with U.’ – Jace

We are reaching towards the end of our Stone Age topic. We had the opportunity to present our own Stone Age houses to our class! Have a look at our masterpieces! We have linked all our previous learning to create our houses.

‘We put all our effort in to make a real life Stone Age house!’ – Adam

‘We only used natural resources to make our Stone Age houses such as leaves, sticks and cardboard.’ – Scarlett

‘We made characters, fire pits, cave paintings and weapons!.’ – Lilian
