Hi everyone!

 

In numeracy, we have been doing graphs, length including converting kilometres and metres, multiplication calculations as well as coordinates. We have also played ‘Hit the button’ to practise our multiplication tables. In mental maths we have been doing the daily ten to practise place value and multiplication tables. We have also learned mental strategies for adding and subtracting 9 and 99 too.

 

We have been learning about possessive adjectives in our grammar lessons. We’ve got up to chapter 4 in our class text, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. So far we think it’s quite interesting, mysterious, exciting and funny. We’ve also been practising our comprehension skills by creating questions for our class novel too. In writing, we wrote a piece called “Into the wardrobe” which described an adventure into our own imagined worlds with a focus on describing the characters and how they were feeling.

 

As part of our expressive arts, we have also created Scottish words pop art as part of Burn’s Day celebrations and also learned how to draw a realistic eye too.

 

In French we have learned how to write the date and practised the days of the week and months. We are learning how to say parts of the body now.

 

Our new topic, the USA, started this week too. We learned about its place on a world map, saw pictures of some famous landmarks and listened to the Star Spangled Banner, the national anthem of the USA. We are looking forward to learning more about the different states in the USA and the presidents who have been in charge of the country.

 

Thanks for reading!
