This week in Room 7 some people moved to silver for their fantastic literacy work. P3 were working on answering questions in sentences at reading time. P2 were doing a new book called Rice Cakes and we were finding verbs and nouns in it. P3 moved into groups, one was reading Horrid Henry and the other was reading The Hen Who Wouldn’t Give Up.

At maths time, we learned about equal groups to help us with multiplying.

At indoor gym, we have been learning gymnastics. We have been using some equipment and watching video clips of gymnastics. We watched the pommel horse, the women’s floor routines and the men’s vault at the 2012 Olympics that happened in the summer.

Today, we were doing Mackintosh’s rose design. We will colour it in tomorrow. We made our own notes about Mackintosh and we used them for our exciting writing today. We wrote an information report about his life.
