We have been working really hard across the curriculum.<\/p>\n
Numeracy \u2013 In Number Talks we have been using different strategies to solve number problems.\u00a0 Strategies include compensation, partitioning and friendly numbers.\u00a0 We try to choose the most efficient strategy to solve the problem.<\/p>\n
We have also been learning about Place Value and looking at 5 and 6 digit numbers.\u00a0 We know that each digit can be placed in a column and that helps us when we are adding 10s, 100s, 1000s etc onto a large number.\u00a0 We also know that zero can act as a place holder and if we forget to write the zero in a number it can change the number completely.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Literacy \u2013 We have been revising adjectives and similes and we took our learning outside.\u00a0 We found natural objects such as leaves, stones and sticks and we used different adjectives to describe them and similes to compare them to other things.\u00a0 We also stamped out the syllables.<\/p>\n
We have been reading a class novel by Michael Morpurgo called \u2018The Elephant in the Garden\u2019.\u00a0 We created comic strips to show important events that have happened so far.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Science – We have been learning about the solar system and we know that there are 8 planets and they are nicknamed the Rocky planets and the Gas Giants.\u00a0 We took our learning outside to see the scale of the distance of the planets from the sun.\u00a0 We used a trundle wheel to measure this and we realised that the part of the playground we were in wasn’t big enough to show the distance from neptune to the sun!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Drama – We have started to write our own scripts for Charlie and the Chocolate factory and are looking forward to filming these using the green screen.<\/p>\n

We have done lots more learning and will share more next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
