Read on to find out all about our super week!<\/p>\n
Literacy<\/strong><\/p>\n We learnt how to create a new style of writing this week called persuasive writing.\u00a0 We learnt that there are certain words that can be used when we are trying to persuade someone to do something or NOT do something, eg ; PLEASE, DO, REMEMBER, STOP, NO and DON’T.\u00a0 We used some of these words to design posters reminding everyone of the school rules. To make our posters look nice and to make the writing stand out we made our writing BIG and BOLD.<\/p>\n We also participated in lots of fun activities to celebrate ‘Book Week’.\u00a0 We made bookmarks, dressed up as our favourite book characters, wrote book reviews and created a front cover and title based on the mystery book that our teachers read to us.\u00a0 We decorated our classroom doors too in homage of our favourite books.\u00a0 We have had such a lot of fun!<\/p>\n Numeracy<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u00a0focussed on halves and quarters this week. We learnt that finding half of an amount means to have two equal groups.\u00a0 We also learnt that we can use our double facts to help us.\u00a0 For example, 4+4=8, so half of 8 =4.<\/p>\n R.E<\/strong><\/p>\n We learnt all about Shrove Tuesday and this day’s traditions.\u00a0 We learnt that this day is the last day before Lent and a day which can feast on pancakes. On this day we had delicious pancakes,\u00a0 Some had syrup, some had jam.\u00a0 We also go messy, (this was great) when we made mud pancakes.<\/p>\n We also learnt all about Ash Wednesday which is the start of Lent.\u00a0 Lent is the time before Easter. We learnt that on Ash Wednesday we are called to go to Church to get our ashes .On this day grown-ups should fast and think about the things that they can do to show Jesus how much they love him. We spoke about what extra things we can do during Lent and changed our classroom altar cloth to purple as purple signifies the start of Lent.<\/p>\n Topic<\/strong><\/p>\n We drew sea horses for our display in class and spoke more about how we can look after the seas.\u00a0 We learnt that we all have a special job to do to look after our world, just as God wants us too and by taking our litter home with us when we go to the beach is a super start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Read on to find out all about our super week!
