Literacy
This week, we have been continuing to develop our vocabulary during Word Boost. We have been learning the meaning of 6 words within our text and if they are a noun, verb or adjective. When we hear these words we have to put our finger on our nose.
In writing this week, we continued to develop our note taking skills when watching a video about the Eiffel Tower. We only wrote down key facts and words as we were taking our notes. Then, we used our notes to write an information report on the Eiffel Tower. We had make sure to include our core writing targets and genre writing targets within our text.
Numeracy and Maths
This week, we were developing our critical thinking skills and looking at missing number division equations. We had to rewrite the equation to calculate the missing number.
In maths this week, we were measuring classroom objects in centimetres. We had to use the ruler carefully to get an accurate measurement. Additionally, we were learning to make sensible estimations before measuring objects.
IDL
For our animal topic, we were learning about endangered animals. An animal is endangered when the population of that animal is low and there is a possibility of the animal coming extinct. We were researching the possible causes of an animal becoming endangered.
Additionally, we had to work in groups to complete a STEM challenge. We were given wooden pegs and lolly pop sticks and we had to design and build an enclosure for a toy animal.
