Science has been great this week. We have been learning all about the SKELETAL SYSTEM. We need our skeleton for so much. It helps us move and supports our bodies. We have 200 bones in the body and we have been learning some of their names. We have a full length colour photograph of an actual skeleton hanging up in our class!!! We have made huge labels to help us learn the names of the different bones.
In maths our favourite mental strategy for subtraction is definitely “adding on” we watched a great video on Espresso that really helped us understand the strategy.
We have been learning how to use inverted commas at language time. In ICT we wrote some dialogue using word processing. We learned where the speech marks are on the keyboard.
We have also been working on how to open a story! We had to chose to start with the setting or describe the characters. We could also start with some action or some dialogue! We practised our openings in this week’s Halloween story! It has definitely been a busy week! By The Green Group.
