Literacy
Writing
We have started to learn about a new genre – descriptive writing.
Having studied the structure of a descriptive text about a Rescue Helicopter Pilot we watched a video about the Scottish Mounted Police. Then together we wrote a descriptive piece about their role.
Bailey – They are different to normal police because they ride horses and wear different uniforms.
Cameron – The genre’s structure was title, introduction, characteristics and evaluation.
Reading
We read our group novels and practised inventing our own inferential questions based on what we had read.
Talking and Listening
This week we invented a story which we told to our partner. We looked at a picture stimulus which was an elephant. Here is the link:
We came up with some great narrative ideas based on it!
Outdoor Learning
Hope – We planted thorn bushes with spikes. Please don’t touch them.
Emily – We planted them because the ones we planted before had been removed. It is also helping us work towards the net zero project.
Numeracy
We have really improved our ability to subtract mentally using a variety of mental methods.
ICTÂ
This week we continued our coding work with Mrs Buntin. It was quite tricky but we were very proud of our achievements.
P.E.
Once again we have continued to improve our netball skills this week. Maybe in the future one of us might play for Scotland!
