We have had a busy term, facing lots of challenges and gaining new skills.
In Maths we have been learning about number bonds; learning more tables; using rulers to draw straight lines; and measuring with rulers to draw accurately measured straight lines. We even went outside and measured with sticks! This helped us realize the need for standard measurements. We continued to practise our addition and subtraction skills too!
In language we have been learning about Adjectives, Adverbs  and Similes. All of these have helped us with our writing. We have written imaginative stories; personal recounts; poems (including one written using Scottish words); instructions and letters.
Our Topic is about Islands. As well as learning about what islands are and how they could have come about, we have been learning about Food Chains on the island and how life continues.
In French we have learned how to count up to 20 in French, what the colours are in French and have started learning the Days of the week and the months of the year.
Our reflections from the term:
