Literacy
Reading
This week we learnt about how to write a quality descriptive character profile. After reading some of our class novel, ‘George’s Secret Key to the Universe’, we chose one of the characters and created our own character profile.
Writing
This week we had a visit from Miss Taylor and practised writing descriptive pieces about animals.
We also discussed our baseline writing assessments at the start of the year and have decided that our 3 class targets are:
- use paragraphs to separate my ideas, events or facts
- use capital letters, full stops, question marks and an exclamation mark in sentences
- spell most common and tricky words correctly
Talking and Listening
Mrs Wallace treated us to a philosophy session this week!
Numeracy
As part of our learning about the place value of numbers, we practised adding numbers to number lines.
In our problem solving session this week, we learnt how to complete a logic puzzle using various strategies to succeed.
Maths
We extended our knowledge of 2D shapes and their properties.
Hope – I learnt the phrase ‘ quadrilateral.’
Lily-Elen – I learnt about 2D shapes that I did not know before.
Using string and our teamwork skills we created different 2D shapes.
Health
We enjoyed playing on the trim track this week and getting some much-needed fresh air during P.E.
In order to improve our health and wellbeing we have continued to practise mindfulness techniques and yoga.
Art and Design – Rainbow Time
Having coloured in a separate part of a large rainbow we then used our teamwork skills to put it together.
Art
In addition we examined Van Gogh’s starry night painting and discussed his use of line.
Anna – I learnt how to colour in using line when drawing my own landscape.
Outdoor Learning
We walked around down Deans South and learnt about leaves.
Bella – I found an acorn!
