Literacy

This week in writing, we have started learning about a new genre of writing. We are now studying exposition. This is when we persuade the reader by writing a one-sided argument. This week, we persuaded the reader that bonfire night is fun.

In reading this week, we have been developing our summarising skills. We have to describe the story in a few sentences. We have to include the most important details.

Numeracy

In numeracy, we were learning to partition numbers. This is when we spilt a number up into small number bonds. This will support us with our mental calculations.
Additionally, we have been learning to round to the nearest 10. When we are rounding to the nearest 10, we must look at the ones. If the ones are 0-4 we round down and if the ones 5-9, we round up.

IDL

In P.E., we continued to develop our skills for basketball. We were developing our bounce passes and chest passes. This supporter us when we played a game of basketball.

Another great week had by all!

We enjoyed writing questions and predictions about our new books.  We learnt to use different types of conjunctions and we wrote a persuasive text regarding the importance of bees.

For numeracy, we continued finding the missing numbers and we began learning how to use written subtraction with borrowing.  In Maths, we revised on our knowledge of tessellation.

For Health and Well being, we played Futsal and began our journey to understanding our dreams and goals.

We have really enjoyed creating algorithms during our digital technology class with Mrs Buntin.

Have a happy weekend everyone!
