Literacy
This week we have been reading our books. We have been reading in our groups and discussing the text. We have been developing our skim and scanning skills when answering questions about our text.
Mia- “We have been asking questions about the book. We answer these questions in sentences”.
We have been practicing our spelling words this week. We have continued to use the look, say, write, check strategy. After we have done this, we write the words with our eyes closed to help us visualise them.
Belle- “We were doing rainbow writing to practice our spelling words”.
Maths
In maths this week, we have continued to develop our addition skills. We can use a number of strategies to support us calculate the answer. We can partition numbers, count on with our finger or use a number square or sticks.
Sai- “We were adding numbers together. I used a 100 square to help me”.
Aaron- “we were doing dice addition”.
IDL
We were learning about the Viking Gods this week. We really enjoyed learning about them and sharing our knowledge of the Viking God’s Thor and Loki.
This week we also enjoyed designing and painting our Christmas baubles.
