Literacy
We have been learning to spell our new spelling words accurately. We have also been practising our words daily through rainbow writing, Play-Doh writing and quizzing our friends.
In writing this week, we were developing our skills to create a narrative piece of writing. We had to look at our feedback from last week to develop our writing. This week, we had to write about getting lost. We used our plans to develop the characters, settings and story line.
In reading, we were developing reading with expression. We were echo reading which is when the teacher would read a page with expression and we would echo it back in the same way.
Maths
In numeracy this week, we started our new topic about fractions. We have been looking at wholes, halves and quarters. We have been splitting shapes into these factions and also writing fractions.
We also had to colour a shape representing a whole, half or quarter. We then gave the worksheet to a friend and they had to write the fraction of the shape shown. After they had wrote their answers, we had to mark the sheet and give peer feedback.
IDL
During our world of work topic, we were learning about interviews. We were learning about how to apply for an interview, what type of questions will be asked and how we should dress.
During art, we were using watercolours to add shading and texture to our landscapes of Edinburgh. We were experimenting with the paints to make different colours using the primary colours, black and white.
