LEARNING REVIEW – 6th November
Here is a round up of our learning from this week.
Literacy (Reading) – This week some groups took part in choral reading during their group reading time. This approach is to support us develop our fluency and expression when reading aloud. We enjoyed this and will continue to do this throughout the term.
Literacy (Writing) – We began instructional writing this week. We have written a set of instructions to explain how we made our pumpkin decorations last week. We will be using these instructions at Christmas to create similar decorations to sell at the Christmas Fayre!
Literacy (Grammar) – We focussed on different types of openers this week. We were identifying, time openers, positional openers, adverbs as openers and verbs ending with ‘ing’ being used as openers.
Numeracy – We have been developing our confidence with the decomposition strategy before we move onto column method next week when solving subtraction problems. We are having to use our knowledge of place value to use this strategy successfully.
IDL/Technologies – We began to focus on word processing this week. We typed our instructions this week and look at various key features when using Microsoft Word.
Art/STEM – We made our own rockets this week to celebrate Bonfire Night! We then held a Rocket challenge to see who could send their rocket the furthest!
