Literacy
We got our new reading books and we were using your clarifying skills to understand the meaning of unfamiliar words. We also introduced echo reading this week. Echo reading is used to help us read with fluency and expression.
“We have been using echo reading this week. My teacher reads a page first and then I would read it back”.
“This made reading easier as it broke up the tricky words”.
We have been practicing our tricky words this week. We love to play games with our spelling words like quiz a friend.
“I have to look, say, cover, write, and check each word.”
In writing, we finished our information report genre. We researched and discussed Spring and then used this information to support us when writing our report.
Maths
In maths, we were continuing to solve times tables equations. We had to identify an effective strategy to help us calculate the answer. We all enjoyed using our skills to play times table snakes and ladders and times table bingo.
“Using pop its help me calculate the answer.”
“I used my fingers and counted in twos.”

This week, we started football for P.E. We were working on our dribbling skills, passing skills and keeping control of the ball.
“We were dribbling in and out of the cones.”
“We can to pass the ball to out team members.”
