In numeracy we have been learning about time. We have been learning to tell the time using o’clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past on analogue and digital clocks. We are coming to the end of our topic of time so we decided to take our learning outdoors for some revision.
We used chalk to draw our clock faces and found natural materials from the playground to make the clock hands. We had lots of fun working together to make our clocks and then competing against one another in a head to head game of “stop the clock”.
We have also been learning about drama techniques this week. We have started learning about freeze frames. We know that in a freeze frame we are not allowed to talk so we have to make sure we are making use of our facial expressions and body language to show the image.
In literacy we have been looking at setting. We have been listening to some descriptions of settings from our favourite books in the class library. On Thursday we had a discussion about what makes a good description of a setting and the most popular answer was adjectives. We then looked at some different pictures of settings that we might use to write our own stories and worked together to record as many adjectives as we could to describe the pictures.
