This week has been a busy one!

The focus of our writing this week was learning how to use interesting time connectives. We used what we have been learning about the death of William Wallace as the context for writing a recount. Here are some time connectives we used in or writing-

Cole – next

Ciaran – meanwhile

Rowan – then

Liam – last

Noah – suddenly

Sam – finally

Lucy – first

Alanna – immediately

In maths this week we have been learning about angles. We know that …..

Tom – an acute angle is smaller than ninety degrees

Caitlin – an obtuse angle is bigger than ninety degrees

Sophie – a right angle is ninety degrees

Lennox – a reflex angle is bigger than a straight angle which is 180 degrees

We have also been discussing the links between numeracy skills and maths. It helps us to see why we do all the work we do with the four operations and why it is important that we know our number bonds and addition/subtraction and multiplication/division inverses.

In P.E. with Mr Jeffries we have been learning about object control, travelling and balance.

Lucie T – Mr Jeffries made it fun and we did races to help us learn about travelling at different speeds and in different ways.

Have a great weekend!!!!!
