This week, Room 7 have been learning phoneme words with the trigraph ‘igh’.

This was our final week learning about instructions. We used the knowledge and skills we have developed to write a set of instructions explaining how to make the chocolate fruit skewers, we made last week. Take a look at some of our writing, below.

In numeracy, we have started learning about multiplication. We know that multiplication is repeated addition. We began by exploring the language used for multiplication then we answered calculations by grouping objects. We are now learning other strategies to help us multiply. We are focussing on the 2 times table and looking at patterns and doubling to help us calculate answers.

As part of our IDL ‘Chocolate’ topic, we found out about the history of chocolate. Did you know, the first recorded use of chocolate was 4000 years ago? We then looked at dates and information provided and ordered them in a timeline.

In ICT, we practised accessing our Glow accounts, sending and replying to emails with more independence.

Well done to our first mystery reader! We enjoyed listening to your story. We have someone booked in for next Friday, let me know if you would like to sign up for a later date.

Have a lovely holiday weekend!
