Literacy
In reading this week, we have been developing our skim reading skills. We were given a passage about winter sports and then we had to answer questions about the text. We were highlighting the key words in the question and skimming through the passage until we read those words. We would then read around the key words to find and highlight the information to help us answer the question.
During our narrative writing this week, we created a roll and write Valentine Story. We had to roll a dice and the number would tell us who our characters were, where our setting was and what the problem was. Then we had to use our imagination to develop a storyline to entertain the reader. We were focusing on using adjectives and connecting words to add in extra details to our stories.
Maths
This week, we were looking at addition and subtraction word problems. We had to use our critical thinking skills to help us work out what the question was asking us to do. Some of us underlined the key details in the question and then wrote the equation we were asked to solve.
We have also been continuing to develop our skills when telling the time. We have been stopping throughout the day to read the time on the clock. We have also been converting analogue time to 12 hour digital time.
IDL
As a class, we have voted for sports to be our IDL topic. We have made a plan about things we would like to learn throughout this topic.
In RME, we were learning about the Christian Bible story of Noah’s Art. We watched a video of the story and then had a class discussion about this story. We also had to write a summary of this Bible story and include all the key details.
