Please remember reading books need to be brought to school every day. We aim to read daily in class as well as completing comprehension activities and this can be difficult if not everyone has a book. Reading books are put in quarantine for 72 hours before they can be re used so it is very important that they are returned to school on Thursday. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

In maths this week we were partitioning numbers. Partitioning is when we split large numbers into smaller. This can make it easier to solve maths problems.

Literacy

This week we been reading our new books. We then had to read the book to find the information to ask questions about the story.

In word boost, our story of the week was ‘The Paper Dolls’ by Julia Donaldson. We were learning the meaning of our boost words and then identifying if these words were nouns or verbs.

Brianna- “I was spelling words with the sound ‘s’.”

Kyle –“We read every week and everyday”.

 

IDL

This week were we using the drama technique of hot seating. Hot seating is a strategy in which a pupil played the character of the witch from ‘Room on the Broom’. The other students would ask the witch questions and the pupil would need to answer them in character.
