This week:

Literacy –

• We have been learning to write capital D and lower case d in our handwriting.
• We have been learning about ee/oo sounds.
• We have been writing about WOW words (adjectives). Wow words give us a little bit more information and are describing words. We made our own beanstalks with a partner and then brainstormed wow words to describe our beantalks.  We came up with some great ideas – giant, huge, enormous, massive, green, curly, big, tall, big leaves, straight, beautiful.  We then used our wow words in our writing this week when writing about Jack and the Beanstalk.

Numeracy

• We have been learning to add for the last two weeks.
• We have been learning to use a strategy and explain what strategy we have been using.
• We have been playing addition games on the smartboard, i the maths are and at our learning tables.

Topic

• We have started to learn aboput our new topic the 1980’s.
• We used ICT to investigate how people listened to music in the 80’s. We were shocked top learn that there was no ipads or tablets and people used record players and tape players.  We looked at old tapes and records and then made posters of the different ways music can be listened to from the 80’s and from nowadays.
