This week we made predictions about what we thought would happen next in the story of The Witches. Here are some of our great ideas:
Lewis – I think that the boy’s gran is going to put him in the knitting and put him down to the witch’s balcony.
Summer – I think that the Grand High Witch will go to her room and not see the boy/mouse and he will grab a bottle of the mouse maker, take it back and they will creep into the kitchen and put it in the witches’ food, but the Grand High Witch won’t eat it.
Shay – I think that Grandma will lower the mouse down to the balcony and he will grab the Mouse Maker, but the Grand High Witch will see him and try to grab the knitting as he goes back up!
Gracie – I think Grandma is going to go to the Grand High Witch’s room and get the bottle and give it to the Grand High Witch as a drink, she will drink it and turn into a mouse.
Sophie C – I think the boy is going to go into the sock and be lowered down to the balcony and steal all of the Delayed Action Mouse Makers and bring them up to Grandma’s room!
When we discussed how the skill of making predictions can help us in the future we came up with a number of good reasons, from being able to predict when you may achieve your dreams and goals, to making predictions if you were a scientist!
In Numeracy we did a number talk where we added two 2 digit numbers together. We had a good discussion around this and came up with different ways of getting the same answers. It was also a good way for us to recognise our mistakes and learn from them.
We have also continued working on our skills in multiplying a 2 digit number by a single digit. We worked hard on this and challenged ourselves with some trickier sums. Some of us need to keep practising our tables and some of us must remember to add on any numbers we have carried over.
