The week flew by in Room 7! We have been so busy.

We are still learning to multiply at maths time, and we have learned lots of strategies for this. We have looked at repeated addition, making groups, arrays, and now we are working on our times tables. Primary 2 are focusing on the 2 times table, and Primary 3 the 4 times table.

We wrote a recount of our World of Work Week yesterday, and Miss Torley was so happy with how hard we worked, and how independent we were. We talked about using punctuation to help us read smoothly at reading time, and we worked on writing good beginning, middle and end summaries.

Miss Torley’s favourite time of the week is Wednesday mornings, when we play find the word, and then go to gym. She is always so impressed with our skills at gym time. This week, we were learning how to forward roll correctly, and we added jumps into our balance beam work. We used what we learned at the shapes and balance station to improve our routines, adding in strong landings and end positions. Miss Torley said we all listened very carefully to our advice, and we improved every time we tried again.

Today was Red Nose Day, and we all enjoyed designed our own red nose, and playing a special Comic Relief version of find the word.
