Monday

On Monday we did some problem solving on trial and error. We had a sheet that had 24 squares on a grid and eighteen small cubes, and what we had to do was all the cubes on the grid but we could only place them if they were even, down and across. We had lots of fun!

After that we did some maths focusing on adding and subtracting decimals. 

We also did spelling, our spelling sound was ssion. 

 

Wednesday

In the morning we did writing and we were learning about how to change the layout and font of our writing to make it more interesting. Some of us did it on chromebooks and some of us did it in their jotters. We had lots of fun!

After that we did P.E. in the gym hall, we did a warm up and then got started on badminton. We split up into groups and half of the class did rallys and the other half practised overhead shots. Then we switched!

In numeracy, we were working on subtracting and multiplying decimals, and then we did a decimal puzzle.

Thursday

In maths we decided group names and we also did some decimal work. The group name were Mathematical Cats, Dory Decimals and Mathematical Minions.

And in literacy we did Nelson Booklets on poetry. It was fun.

After that we did some art, and in art we were focusing on “the dot”. What we did was we had a piece of paper and we drew one dot then we swapped them round and then we expanded the dot and made a picture with that dot.

Monday

 

Hello there! And welcome to this week’s spectacular blog! 

This morning, we were doing decimals, maths and problem solving.

It was very difficult. On maths, we had to sort out all possible patterns for a Limousine. Highest was 27.

We also did our comic strips, and some bounceback! When we were doing our marvellous  comic strips… we had to write a comic strip about  chapter 10. Besides all of that, we had our daily mile.

And that was our fantastic Monday! 😀    

 

Tuesday                

 

On Tuesday, we had Miss Ralston. She taught us about how plants grow, made us write about our experiment (A book or measuring graph for example) that we did later on today. After all of that.. Skip playtime, and  we did an experiment! We tried to see what would happen if we added fertiliser to our plants. We had three pots: No fertiliser, recommended amount of fertiliser, and too much fertiliser. We’ll get the result in a couple of months. After that, we also did some Globle!  The mystery country was Mexico. 🌎

 

When Mrs Allan came back to class, we did some more maths

Which was adding and times decimals which was a bit of a challenge but we all got there. We also did our boardwork, which was about finding out the greater number. It was a little confusing, since we had decimals to deal with. Near the end of the day, we did some interesting literacy.

 

Wednesday 

On Wednesday we had to write about something from nature or an animal. Plus, we had to write a poem about that thing!

We then had awesome indoor P.E and in that P.E we did badminton!

After that, we played some fun games outside.

The games we did were Splat,It’s a bomb and Wall – E. It was so much fun! We then started some maths . In maths, we had a revision and had to correct our work from yesterday. In addition to that: We had to multiply decimals by 10, 100, and 1000! It was hard at the start, but as we did more and more, we got more confident with it!

 

Thursday

On our very marvellous Thursday, we did a lot of Maths. It was about decimals. We worked on our Cloudbusting comic strips and some spelling.

In the afternoon, we started drawings based on the book “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse”.  We made many spectacular drawings.  the story was written by Charlie Mackesy.
