Newton Farm Primary School and Nursery Class

This week in Room 5, we have really enjoyed all of our new learning. We learned a new sound in phonics ‘ea’ as in ‘leaf’ and 4 new common words, ‘each, ask, year, eat’. Our strategies to help us with our common words have been so helpful this week. For Numeracy, we have focused on counting in 2s, 5s and 10s, and are working hard to remember it by learning different songs and counts. In writing, we finished up our current focus of adding in ‘who, what and where’, and today focused on a harvest scene. We have all been enjoying completing maths tasks on mathletics and reading books on bug club on the ipads as stations this week, and have been trying really hard to log ourselves in and out of our account without help. We have started learning about our next topic ‘Knights and Castles’ and some of our tasks this week have involved us looking at the castles and coming up with questions. For Science, we will be doing Living Things and hibernation, and we cant wait to get started on that after October break.
