In Number Talks we have been continuing to look at a two digit addition sum and the pupils have been asked to share how they would work it out and if they could find more than one way to answer it. One of the sums given was 64 + 34 and here were some of the ways of working it out:
For literacy this week we have continued working hard on our new spelling words and we have these home again to practise. We practised our spelling words by writing them in fancy lettering. There are some pictures below to look at. Next week our spelling will look a bit different and we will have some other activities to try at home.
In writing this week we have looked at Persuasive Writing and creating a one-sided argument. We used Halloween as our theme. We assessed ourselves using our core target grids and our genre target grids for persuasive writing. We talked through what each target meant then assessed ourselves after we had read over our work. We will look at another persuasive piece next week.
We were introduced to our new topic this week which is The Egyptians. We began by recording what we already know about them and then thought about what we would like to learn about them and how we will do this.
