This week p5 have been very busy in our learning, we are improving our recount writing skills and using great time openers when sequencing events. Children are trying hard to Uplevel their writing by adding extra information and feelings and using great adjectives to describe.

In maths we have been exploring rounding as well as using what we already know when adding and subtracting multiples of 10,100,1000, first we find the hidden number facts for addition or subtraction then use the rule for multiples. We thought this would be very tricky at first but we are already really good at this, it will help us when using a new addition strategy next week.

In reading this week we have focussed on characterisation and finding evidence in the text as well as working on our metalinguistics and clarifying skills.

Through our IDL context of the Oceans, this week we explored lifecycles and have begun looking at food chains.

In our Paths lessons we have been working on using the Control Signals to help us calm down and deal with problems effectively. We showed great teamwork when solving problems this week.
