Writing

We have been learning about verbs.

Alex – a verb is something you do

Suvi – jump is a verb

Kiara – run is a verb

Connor – sit is a verb

Mia – skip is a verb

Next week we will be learning about adverbs.

We wrote an imaginative story this week. The focus was to try to apply what we have learned about sentence structure and using adjectives with nouns. Miss Drummond is very pleased with our progress.

Maths

This week we have been focussing on numeracy and in particular vertical subtraction up to numbers with four digits.

Megan – if you can’t do the subtraction you ‘go next door’ and exchange from the next column

Euan – always start at the unit column

Suvi – if there is a zero in the next column (next door) you have to go to the next again column

Expressive Arts

We had good fun listening to Halloween music then we had to use our voices to create sound effects to go along with the words and music.

LATC

We are going to be learning about the things we can do to protect the earth. Our main focus will be recycling. This week we have begun by learning some key words we use when talking about protecting the earth and we have had a great discussion about the different things we can all do to help the environment we live in.

Have a great weekend!
