After what seemed like a lovely February weekend for all of us, we have all settled back into class and been busy from the word go! It has once again been lovely to hear what everyone spent their time doing and also sharing good news stories with each other.

Numeracy and Maths

This week we have focused on 3D Objects, Data Analysis and Symmetry. We explored different ways data can be displayed then had a go at answering questions about various types. We also sorted items into different categories using Venn Diagrams.

   

   

   

   

   

   

Literacy and English

We have had a big focus on inferencing this week and have been looking through a text for clues to support our answer. We also participated in ‘blether stations’. We had to work out what the item or object was that was being described on the card but we were only given some of the information.

In writing, we completed our last diary entry. This was based on an imaginative short film. We loved absolutely loved the film, finding it very funny and enjoyed adding description to our diary entries. Next week, we are starting a short block on comic writing which we are very excited about. We are basing our coming around the book ‘The First Hippo on the Moon’ by David Walliams. We read it in class today and there were lots of giggles!

Expressive Arts

We continued to develop our drawing skills by using chalk to create a field of colours and textures. We did lots of rubbing to blend the colours and there we some very interesting conversations around what colours made what when mixed.

   

   

   

Science

Many of us have shown a very keen interest in our Science topic, The Sun, Moon and Stars, even bringing in our own books from home to share. Some of the facts we have learned have amazed us and some of us have also shown a very good knowledge. We are very much looking forward to sharing our presentations next week and learning lots from each other.
