In Literacy we have been working on plurals – adding s and es to\u00a0 nouns.<\/p>\n

Most nouns add an s<\/strong> (dog – dogs).<\/p>\n

Nouns that end in – ch, sh, ss, x, or z- add es<\/strong> (fox – foxes, church – churches).<\/p>\n

Nouns that end in y with a consonant before the y – change the y to an i and add es<\/strong> (pony – ponies, baby – babies).<\/p>\n

Nouns that end in y with a vowel before the y, just add s<\/strong> (turkey – turkeys, tray – trays).<\/p>\n

In spelling we have been using different strategies to learn how to spell some High Frequency Words ( because – big elephants can always upset small elephants).<\/p>\n

We have been learning how to use dictionaries and atlases, using alphabetical order and contents pages.\u00a0 \u00a0We have studied a map of the United Kingdom and identified the countries and their capital cities.<\/p>\n

We are still working on subtraction in number and our problem solving work this week involved different coins.\u00a0 We have looked at 2D shapes and their properties and know about circles, squares, rectangles, pentagons, hexagons and octagons.\u00a0 For fun we looked at heptagons, nonagons and decagons.\u00a0 We used squares and rectangles to tile a pattern and we used gummed shapes to make pictures.<\/p>\n

We used the iPads to practise patterns with 2D shapes and used Sketches School to create a picture using 2D Shapes.<\/p>\n
