Literacy
Reading
In group reading we practised answering questions about texts.
Bailey – My reading is improving – I can read more challenging texts.
Kyle – I enjoyed my dinosaur book this week.
Writing During our persuasive writing work we had a debate. Some children thought children should help at home, such as Bailey, and some children thought they shouldn’t, such as Anna. Each of them came up with a list of arguments which were written on the board by Miss Taylor.
This scaffolding then helped us set out our own piece of writing.
Bailey – I liked having an argument!
Alexis – I am getting better at using full stops.
Numeracy
We continued to practise subtraction strategies this week and we continue to gain in confidence.
Anna – I am better at subtraction!
Music
This week we continued to practise our drumming skills and keeping in time to the beat using objects like pencils to make a sound.
Jaxson – I enjoy everything about the music.
Art
Bailey – I liked painting the baubles!
Topic – Europe
We learnt about some of the Christmas traditions in Spain. They eat turkey but stuff it with mushrooms!
Health
Cameron – I liked running like a speeding train during our run this week!
Colin – I am getting better at football. I scored a goal past Miss Stanway.
Miss Stanway – I was devastated!
