Unbelievably October week is fast approaching! Another amazing week in 3.9 despite the poor weather!
We have been continuing with our number talks and learning new strategies for answering a range of questions. This week one of our focus strategies was finding the difference and counting on, which can help us with our subtraction. We have begun learning about division and how this links with multiplication, and used concrete materials to show how we can share equally. We are growing in confidence coming up to the smartboard to explain our strategies.
In literacy we have focussed on sentence ‘uplevelling’ and last Friday we wrote our own explanation piece on a topic of our choosing.
In the kitchen we made breakfast scones that were savoury. We focussed on the skill of ‘rubbing in’ fat into flour, using a cookie cutter, rolling out using a rolling pin and also weighing/measuring dry and wet ingredients. Here is the breakfast-scones recipe if you want to try it at home.
Brilliant photos. Great to see all the children engaged in active learning
The children loved this activity! Thank you 🙂
