Literacy
In group reading we completed various comprehension challenges.
It was World Book Day on Thursday so we talked about our favourite books and had a quiz. There was also an emoji challenge – we had to guess the title of the book from the emoji clues!
Why not create some emoji codes of your own?
Numeracy
We had a go at some challenging word problems involving money.
This week we also discussed various subtraction strategies e.g. partitioning, (but we discussed why this doesn’t always work!) and counting on.
Science
Our new topic is the water cycle.
We learnt about the 3 changes of state.
Debbie – These are solids, liquids and gases.
Using drama we all became a molecule of a solid and acted out what happened when it was given heat energy.
Here we are tightly packed together as a solid!
Here we are as a liquid :
Finally we have reached boiling point and here we are as a gas!
We really liked being the molecules of a gas!
The process involved in this are:
Anoton-These are melting, freezing, condensing and evaporation.
Lily Elen – I enjoyed this drama!
Health
As part of our ‘Healthy Me’ topic we learnt about different drugs and the dangerous effects they have on our body.
Headspace/Health
During our visit from Mark we wrote a letter to ourselves which we are going to open in one years time!
Topic / Digital Learning
Bailey – I enjoyed sharing my PopwerPoint about transport in WW2 to the rest of the class because everyone enjoyed it.
PE
In netball we learned about positional play and focussed on attack and defence. It was quite tricky for the first time!
Kyle – I liked learning about the positions in netball. You can only go in certain areas.
Hope – I enjoyed being a crab!
(In this game the children played netball but could only move on their hands and feet which helped them to move into better positions.)
The class agreed their next steps were to practise positional play and reinforce attacking/defending roles.
