Newton Farm Primary School and Nursery Class

This week in Room 19 we have been continuing to learn about decimals including tenths, hundredths and thousandths. We have focused on addition and have been adding various quantities of money.

In our literacy time, we have been continuing with our class novel Dark Isle and looking at contractions and how they are used.

During P.E. time we have been enjoying learning netball skills and playing mini, but very competitive, games between teams.

In Room 27 we have been working hard on our spelling and reading. For writing, we were creating exciting endings for imaginative stories. This was our final piece of narrative writing – ask us what we have learnt about the features of narrative.

In Maths, we have been rounding the the nearest 100 and 10 and also using compass points with angles. We were challenging ourselves with new angle sizes such as 135 degrees.

In Health and Wellbeing we have been thinking about how we can take care of ourselves and used the Emotion Works cog model to think of ‘regulation strategies’. We have been learning about positive affirmations and how giving compliments and helping others can help us to feel good.

We have been doing gymnastics, football and basketball in PE.

We got together with all of the other P5 classes this morning to discuss ideas for our next topic. We will now vote to choose the most popular.

In French, we were learning the numbers up to 31. This will help us with saying the date in French.
