This week, we have been developing our skills with whole numbers and place value. We have applied our trial and error skills in problem solving.

In Literacy, we have continued to enjoy reading our class novel, Kensuke’s Kingdom and have been sharing our opinions on the text. We have also carried our a predictor challenge based on our new reading books. In Writing, we have started our learning on writing personal recounts and this week we have written about ‘A day we will never forget’, focusing on the choice of vocabulary we use to engage the reader as we share our feelings.

We have developed our ideas further around our rights linked to our class charter and the Wellbeing Indicators. In P.E, we have been developing our skills in strategic thinking in different team games.

We worked well together in Loose Parts to complete a team challenge and also used them for free play.

We have been developing our note taking and research skills in our Natural Disasters topic. We have used ICT to display our findings.

In Art, we have discussed the work of Hokusai and The Great Wave and used mixed materials to create our own interpretation.

We are working on our presenting skills in drama and being confident to share our ideas to an audience.

We enjoyed exploring the outdoors with our Buddies and helping them to choose a reading book for pleasure.
