This month we have been doing lots of exciting and fun things in class!

In Maths, we have been learning about fractions, decimals, estimating, rounding and 3D shapes! We have been continuing to practise multiplication and division though active maths games. This week we worked in pairs to solve a Halloween mystery problem solving which was very fun!

During writing lessons, we used the notes from our private research during I.C.T to create a leaflet for an Australian city of our choice. We had to come up with a title and sub-headings and draw lots of pictures to make it eye-catching. We have also written a spooky Halloween imaginative story. We worked as a class to come up with lots of adjectives to create a scary setting with Halloween monsters.

For our Australia topic we created an Aboriginal painting using pointillism techniques, we think they look great and can’t wait to see them up on the classroom wall display! For our homework task, we will be making a PowerPoint at home to present to the class, Miss Igoe can’t wait to see our work.

We really enjoyed doing our Beat the Street walks this month, we loved going for a big walk to keep us fit whilst looking at all of the lovely Autumnal colours. We have also really liked taking part in orienteering for Outdoor Learning with Mrs Lindsay.

As October is the month of Our Lady, we have also been learning about the rosary.

We have had a great month and we are really looking forward to learning more things in November!
