Literacy
We were learning to improve our vocabulary during Word Boost. We were introduced to 6 boost words and their meaning. When we hear a boost word, we have to put our finger on our nose and explain the meaning of the word. We also played the miming game, this is where one person has to mime out the boost word and the class have identify what the boost word is.
We were also developing our skimming and scanning skills during our reading comprehension. This is where we have to identify the key words within the question and skim read the text to find the answer.
For writing this week, we started learning about narrative writing. We were introduced to the structure we have to use for this genre and we created a narrative piece in small groups. Afterwards, we peer assessed each groups work and identified the areas of success and areas that they could improve on.
Maths
This week, we continued to develop our division skills. We were using our jotters to solve equations from the textbook. During number talks, we looked at division word problems. This is challenging as you have to initially work out what the question is asking you to do. We then discussed the different strategies we could use to calculate the answer.
IDL
For art this week, we were creating various landscapes. We were using pencils and we had to use different techniques to create different textures.
