Literacy

 

This week we were describing how we looked, our personalities and our hobbies. We used the descriptive bubble to support our writing.

 

We have also been reading our books and looking for information to help us answer questions based on the text.

 

During spelling this week, we have been practising our words using rainbow writing, Play-Doh writing and writing the words with our eyes closed. We were also writing sentences with our new words.

 

“We were spelling out our tricky word on white boards”. (Sarah-Louise)

 

“I was getting better at reading because I have been reading everyday”. (Kyle)

 

Maths

 

This week we have continued with our topic of place value. We have been using hundreds, tens and ones cubes to represent different numbers.

We also had to collaborate and work as a team to identify the hundreds, tens and ones of the given number.

 

Health and Wellbeing

 

This week we were discussing how it feels to belong and safe. Everyone in the class shared an example of when then had felt that they belong or they were safe.

We also thought about our goals for the year. Everybody had to think of at least one goal they would like to set for in school.

LD- I found out that some tribes in the Amazon lose their traditions due to other tribes taking over their village.

KT- We learned about angles.  I enjoyed going outside and looking for angles.

LS- I learned to round decimals to whole numbers.

GH- I have been practicing my number bonds.

AF- I learned to that to summarise text, I must only write about the main events.

MN- I really enjoyed learning to create ‘cartoon art’.  I had to make sure I followed the step by step instructions.

 

For HWB-  The children created a list of activities which promote their positive outlook.

It has been another busy week in P4/3! as all of the children continue to make improvements in their learning, well done everyone!! We have added to our learning environment in the form of our flying high wall display. We shared our ideas on the different ways we can encourage and support each other and succeed in our learning. A big thank you to Mrs Walker who helped create the display in her own time.

Our class novel this term is ‘ The BFG ‘ by Roald Dahl. We have been enjoying exploring the different characters, especially the Giant! Have a look at some of our directed drawings of Sophie and the Giant. Mrs Morrison is proud of your efforts!!

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone and I will check in with you all next Friday.

 

 

We finished our non- fiction readers this week so we were able to review our books. We thought about all the the book review worksheets we had completed in the past and we decided to create our own. We had to create the layout that suited us best and decide on the content too. Mrs Lockhart thought they were fabulous (better than the worksheet ones!).

We have had a very busy week in P2!
