This week we have been very busy!
Literacy
Reading
We have been learning to compare our personal experiences with a text. In addition we hunted for ‘wow’ words in our group novels and used dictionaries to find the meaning of these words. As an extra challenge we then had to use the words in a new sentence.
Writing
We watched a video about how bears hibernate, made notes and then turned these notes into an explanation text.
Numeracy
We have been learning to find fractions of quantities using division strategies. It was tricky at first but we are improving with practise.
Art
Sophie – I enjoyed creating an abstract piece where the colour and line represented a feeling.
Lily-Elen – I enjoyed the observational drawing. We drew a classroom wall!
Science
Our new topic is ‘Earth’s Materials.’ After completing a brainstorm which included what we knew and what we would like to find out we learnt about the layers of the earth. These are the crust, core and the mantle.
Topic
We continued to research our chosen dinosaur.
Health
Hope – I am better at dribbling in football.
Bella – I am better at tackling.
This week we also learnt about how to stay SMART online.
Music
Bailey – I enjoyed listening to the concert.
This was an RSNO production which involved listening to a reading of Gaspard the Fox which was accompanied by an orchestra.
