In numeracy this week we have been learning about rounding.  Rounding means making a number simpler but keeping its value close to what it was. The result is less accurate, but easier to use. Example: 73 rounded to the nearest ten is 70, because 73 is closer to 70 than to 80.  We also played a fun game to improve our times tables mental recall.

We have been using different strategies to help us learn our spelling words and playing games to help us remember them.

We completed our rainforest explorer stories, making sure they all make sense and include thoughts and feelings as well as VCOP.  We have also learned about similes and metaphors and created some of our own!

We have been learning more about animals of the rainforest and how they adapt to their surroundings.  This is called adaptation.

During Health and Wellbeing lessons we have been discussing the fact that we all go into the learning pit and we know strategies we can use to get ourselves back out again.

We have been enjoying our French lessons where we have been revising numbers, colours and greetings.

Au Revoir,

Mrs Knowles and P7b
