Numeracy and Maths

In Numeracy this week, we worked with Miss Donaldson to work on our times tables.  Some of us worked looking at the 3 times tables.  Others started looking at multiplying 2- or 3-digit numbers by a single number.  We enjoyed playing times table bingo.

With Miss Donaldson, we explored numbers in the past.  We also started looking at change we would get from either 20p, £1, £2, £5 or £10.  Some of us found this challenging and will continue to work on this next week.

Literacy

We read a story about wolf spiders and investigated the structure of the text.  Then, we wrote descriptive pieces of writing on an animal of our choosing.  We then looked at peer assessing our friends work based on the success criteria using pink and green pencils.

In handwriting we started looking at joining an “i” to various ascenders (b, h, l, t, k and f).

PE

In PE we continued looking at our fitness and participated in a shuttle run challenge.  We marked down whether we were able to run to a cone and back 6 times between a set time scale.  We started at 2mins and worked our way down to 20 secs.  When back in class we compared the results on excel and investigated pie charts showing how many students managed.  We saw clearly that all the class were able to complete the task in 1 min and over, around half could manage in 30 secs and very few managed in 20secs.

 

Art 

We made pictures of poppies looking at different lines and patterns.  We also looked at the difference between light and dark colours.

Music

As part of our lesson using charanga, we started using glockenspiels to play along with “Three little birds.” We really enjoyed playing along with the music.

HWB

As part of our health and wellbeing, we looked at the importance of a big or little deal.  We also looked at the importance of appreciating the people in our lives and wrote positive things about our classmates.

Other

We investigated Rememberence day and made posters about what we had learnt.
