Welcome back, everyone! This week we have been learning all about animal adaptations. We found out how certain animals are able to survive in polar climate zones and arid climate zones like the desert. We found out about different climate zones and where some of them are in the world. We live in a temperate climate zone so we have seasons and it isn’t ever too hot or too cold! Next week we are going to find out about animals that live in tropical climate zones and we are also going to have a workshop on animal adaptations at the Deer Centre.

We wrote about our holidays and learnt about proper nouns and common nouns. We had to divide a list of words into proper and common nouns. Proper nouns must always have a capital letter.

In Numeracy, some children have been adding multiples of 10, some children have been ordering 3-digit numbers and some children have been writing numbers in words. We have also been doing a few number puzzles too.

We checked our rain gauges too. We measured that 250ml rain fell over the October holidays!

In French, we learnt how to say it is sunny and it is raining!

We have enjoyed Skills Academy this week, all having the chance to learn a new skill and practise them further.
