Literacy

This week, we were practicing our tricky words. We were using rainbow writing and quizzing a friend.

For reading this week, we were given a passage and then answered questions by finding information from within the text. One of our passages was about Christmas trees as we learned about the history of the Christmas tree and how different counties have different traditions.

Maths

In maths this week, we were using the most effective strategy to solve addition problems. During number talks, we discussed all the different strategies we could use to calculate the answer to a sum.

IDL

This week for our Viking topic, we were learning about the Battle of Largs. This was the last battle between the Scots and the Vikings. The Pencil was built to celebrate the Scots keeping the land and to remember those who lost their lives in the fight.

Christmas Activities

We really enjoyed a variety of Christmas activities. We all worked very hard to practice our Christmas poem. We also designed and decorated Christmas baubles.  At our Christmas party, we got very excited about seeing Santa’s message.
