Creation Station:

We needed to make an animal like Tingatinga, we needed to get one animal and put another animal on-top of it  so we could create our own animal. I liked it because you get to make an animal – CM

Construction:

You had to draw on a bit of paper then build it with the animals and bricks and insects. I liked working with my friends – ErH

Independent Choice board:

You had to make the number with calculations, I did add, take away and times – KG

You needed a big black piece of paper and any other colour then you had to make windows and its like a city. The amount of windows we had to do was a multiplication.  I liked when i stuck the windows on – RJ

We were trying to make the biggest number we could. We estimated the number, we measured each side with ten rows, then we counted it by tens, and it equalled 2528. I liked it because you had to try and solve it to make it a cube with no gaps – CK

We needed to draw a butterfly and then there were different shapes, the circle was 1000 the square was 100 the rectangle was 10 the little square was 1. We needed to make doubles with it so on each side we needed to put the same amount on the butterfly wings. I liked that you could colour it and it was fun to count up all the squares and circles – AW

Here are some sneak peaks of things you will see in our spring show. To be continued…..

Time:

Miss Asif put up times on the board we had to write them down then we needed to draw the hands on the clock to the right number.  _:00 is o’clock the _:30 is half past – AW

There is a cup that says times, you’ve got to make the time on the clocks. I liked that you got to do it with your friends – BL

We made clocks in the woods using different materials – NM

Division:

You need to divide 57 by 3 using tens and units. We put one in the first group, one in the second group then one in the third group then you did it again in order. If it doesn’t work you have to take a ten out and replace it with units. It was fun working it out because first time it didn’t work then the second time it worked – CM

Halves and Quarters:

A quarter is split in 4 equal pieces – CS

A half is something that is split down the middle – CS

Times tables:

So we were using our spring show cloth for spelling. You were writing your spelling words down on the cloth with your finger or a pencil. I liked it because it was fluffy and fun -IK

You had a pass a bat to eachother. You got to make your own race, we used a bean bag to throw it inside of a hula hoop then you jumped in a hula hoop and kicked a ball into a goal – CM

We had to get the materials and then made an obstacle course. We did a good job at understanding what to do -RJ

We were doing quizes on time, and we marked our friends jotter. We got to tick it, and you got to write if you did something good and the next step. I liked marking my friends jotter – KG

We made a paper clock to help us with the work. We practised half past, quarter past and quarter to. I was good at making sure that the work is neat – EwH

Its called half past because the minute hand goes half way across the clock. Its called quarter past because the minute hand goes quarter way.  Its called quarter to because it had to travel quarter way to 12 – AW

This is things we had to do in our writing , pink bits were the challenges the yellow bits were the things you had to do – AC

We had to listen to the Tingatinga video and find the key words, I liked that we had to listen to the video – ErH

I knew what to write because I looked at the titles and listened very carefully to the video – CS

We will be writing a character description using our notes next week!

We learned the vowels which is a o e u and i, and then you look at a  word if thats not a vowel you put a if it is you put a an – MC

You needed to write in the gap, we were learning about a and an. So you had to make sure it sounded like it made sense. Like ‘a orange’ doesn’t make sense but ‘a dog’ makes sense – IK

We needed to fill in some sentences, if it was a vowel then it would be an if it was not a vowel it will be a. For my group we needed to use the word because in the sentences – GC
