Numeracy/Maths
In numeracy this week we started using the strategy of arrays to help us with our division. We started investigating 3D shapes and were able to talk about their features. On the tuff tray we were able to create our own shapes using cocktail sticks, straws, cotton buds and playdough. We worked on Algebra with Miss Allan on Tuesday.
Literacy
We worked on personal stories, we started writing about snowy stories. We were able to mark our own work against the success criteria and looked at what we need to include next time. In handwriting, we looked at the join from “o”. We practised oa, oe, oi, oo, ou and oy joins.
RME
We started looking at Aesops Fables. This week we looked the Tortoise and the hare with Miss Allan.
ICT
We continued with our 3D printing.
We used our notes on our stories to type out our stories.
HWB
We read Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes and discussed the importance of apologising. Then we made posters about how to apologise.
Outdoor Learning
We used our plans made last week to create our own bird feeders. Some of us changed our original designs. All children got the option to take these home.
