In Numeracy we have been working on decomposition (borrowing). Some of us have found this quite a challenge, but we have stuck with it. This would be a good thing for the children to practise at home when they can!
We continue to work on Subtraction. We have enjoyed using our Heinemann textbooks to challenge ourselves this week. In Number Talks we have looked at how we can use the answer to one sum to help us quickly and easily solve the answer to another. Here is an example below:
In writing this week we have continued to look at Persuasive Writing and created a one-sided argument about why reading is important. We thought about how reading impacts our lives at school, at home and how it will prepare us for the World of Work. We know that it is without a doubt, a very important skill to have!
Here are some of our finished pieces:
In Reading this week we have looked at the role of a Word Wizard. This is where we find a word we are unsure of, we make a guess at its meaning, then we find out what it means and then finally show our understanding of this by using it in a sentence. Here are our words from this week:
‘Trampled’
‘Consumed’
‘Disbelief’
We have been busy filming our Sharing the Learning this week! We have lots of good things to tell you about that P4 do in Literacy and Numeracy. We look forward to you seeing our videos.
