Literacy

This week, we have continued to practice our spelling daily. We have been completing rainbow writing, playing roll, read and write and quizzing our friends.

In reading this week, we have been focusing on our questioning skills. We have been using our skim reading skills to answer questions about our text. Then, we had to create our own questions to ask a friend.

Numeracy

In numeracy, we were looking at odd and even numbers. We had to look at ones column when were are identity if two, three or four digit numbers are odd or even. We also used a chant to help us identify odd and even numbers.

In topic this week, we were learning about hurricanes. Hurricanes are large, swirling storms. They produce winds of 74 mph or higher and they are formed over hot waters.

Maths: today we did some clockwise stuff. We drew circles clockwise and we used compasses to help. This week we have also been rounding decimals. We have also been doing various activities related to time and times tables.

For spelling we have done another spelling test.

For reading we read a book that helped us understand how to make persuasive writing. We also read our group novels and did questions on them. We also did questions on COP 26. We read an article on the BBC to find out information to create and answer the questions.

Our new topic is now COP 26 and climate change.

In PE we did basketball. We practised dribbling and shooting.

This week we enjoyed  a variety of fun learning experiences.
