This week in maths we have been doing a variety of different activities for times table recall …times. We rolled a dice for 2 digits and then rolled once more and then multiplied using the grid method.

We also did some multiplication square challenges to speed up our recall of multiplication facts.

In Literacy we have been working on new reading skills, things like Opener Oracle and Setting Scouter. NEW VOCABULARY ALERT….An Oracle is when you know everything!  Opener Oracle was the task set for us.  We had two groups and the Opener Oracle group was looking through their reading book for adverbs, verbs, adjectives and prepositions at the start of the sentences and it was really fun to do. Setting Scouter helps us to learn more ways to understand what language an author uses to set a scene and ways to create an atmosphere.

We have started our ‘What A Wonderful World Topic’ and spent some time using our reading skills to find out about Space Exploration.  We’ve also been working hard on our Bridges Showcase for our very special ceremony next Friday.

We finished this week with our Children in Need Spotty walk!

We hope you enjoyed our blog.
