Monday to Wednesday with Mrs Meiklem

This week we had fun adding to our group dance in PE. We are dancing to Jai Ho and we are adding lots of Indian Bangra music dance moves. We loved watching it back on the iPad after filming ourselves.
In numeracy we are all working on subtraction at our own levels. We are becoming more independent and selecting appropriate materials and mental strategies. The p3s were working with double digit numbers within 100 and learning how to round numbers or use a ‘split strategy’ for subtraction. The P2s are working hard to use a number line to solve subtraction problems within 20.
In literacy we have been practising the skill of note taking. We are also learning how to have a class debate. This week we worked to debate whether we should eat more insects to help the environment, using our notes to help answer questions.
In French we learned how to talk about the weather.
For topic we were learning about famous Dundonian inventors and how their inventions changed people’s lives. We also created a class museum last week which was very interesting. Pictures attached!
We used boomwhackers in music this week.
We look forward to seeing some of you at our Shared learning event on Tuesday the 10th of February.
