It has been a very busy week in Room 5 this week. We began learning our Science topic – All about the Eclipse, and looked for the differences in what we see in the sky during the day and at night. We went outside and spoke about how important it is to look at the sun safely, and the children were surprised that they could see the moon even in the daylight! For spelling, we focused on ‘ng’ and ‘th’, and common words ‘have, your, only, by’. In number we focused on bigger than, smaller than and equal to for numbers up to 50, and 1 more 1 less, 2 more and 2 less than a big number. In P.E we played some circle time games, and our favourite was bear in the honey pot. Outdoor P.E today was so much fun and we played football with Miss Campbell. Our Non Number focus this week is days of the week and months of the year, and the children created some wonderful display work for the board. During spelling, we have been working really hard at using the elkonin boxes, which help us to identify each sound within a word, and we have focused on knowing what a single sound is and what a joint sound is.

It has been another great week, and I hope you all have a great weekend when it comes! Check out our great pictures below!
