Literacy
This week we started Early Literacy Focus (ELF) which means that the children will now be working in small groups with an adult for all literacy activities.
In spelling this week, we were learning a new sound through rainbow writing, practising our words on a whiteboard and using the words in a sentence. We also played spelling pairs with our partner.
We were learning about persuasive writing this week. We were persuading the reader that Halloween is fun.
Maths
We were learning about odd and even numbers. We were learning how to work out if big numbers are odd or even. We learned that when a number is in the hundreds, we just need to look at the ones to work out if it is odd or even.
IDL
Our new topic is the Vikings. We were learning that in the Shetland Islands they have a festival called Up Helly Aa. It is held on the last Tuesday in January to celebrate the Viking heritage and welcome in Spring.
