Second week back and our brains are still growing, and we are getting much better at giving others time to let their brain grow as well!
We looked at grids and how we plot points. We started to write down our co-ordinates and how these should look.
Abdulhadi – The grids can help you with where you want to go.
Abdulhadi – A grid has two axis’ and one has numbers and one has letters.
RV – There is an X axis and a Y axis.
Deen – The Y axis goes straight up and the X axis goes to the side.
Deen – We remembered this by saying ‘Y reach for the sky’.
Rida – Inayah found the treasure.
Alizah – We played a treasure chest game.
We loved having Mrs Sheridan in on Monday morning showing us different ways to make numbers and looking at the value of these numbers.
Some of us even looked at the hundreds column.
Abdulhadi – We looked at hard numbers with hundreds, tens and ones.
Deen – We looked at numbers and used 100 boards.
Arham – We used Dienes Material to help us with our place value.
In literacy we have been looking at characters and how important it is to describe them.
Abdullah Q – We were drawing monsters to see if everyone got the same. ( Miss Graham described a monster and we wanted to see if they all looked the same, showing the importance of describing a character with lots of detail and adjectives.)
We continued our topic by looking at the journey Harriet Tubman made, plotting these points on a map of America. We also looked at her life story and all the amazing things she did for others.
Aarv – We learned more about Harriet Tubman.
Abdulhadi – We learned that because we look different does not mean we are.
Abdullah – Some of our skin looks different but we should be treated the same.
Lulu – We were writing about Harriet Tubman’s life.
Abdulhadi – We were writing about characters.
We also started reading the book: Handa’s Surprise.
Jibraeel – We read Handa’s Surprise. Her friend was happy at the end.
Inayah – We were writing about Handa.
Jibraeel – We were writing a sentence at the target table about the story. We then take our target off when we have finished.
Inayah – We were looking at the story in parts. (First, then and last)
As part of our topic we looked at the UN Rights of a Child and if the children in the book we are reading about Harriet would have had these rights. We had a very long discussion about what is right and wrong.
Abdulhadi – We looked at peoples rights and what we need and what is not important to survive.
Because of our amazing hard work and effort all week, Miss Graham gave us time today to relax and practice taking big, long deep breaths.
Attached is our Term 3 Plan and all the things we will be doing over the next term.
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and see you all on Monday!
Thanks
Miss Graham
