Literacy
This week we have been doing some writing using our class laptops! We use Class Notebook on Teams as an online jotter. Class Notebook is good because you can use dictation (speak a story out loud and the computer will write it down) or immersive reader (which will read your work out loud so you can listen and check that your work makes sense). You can also add images or links to your story.
We are still reading Holes as our class novel, and now we have group reading books. These are Double Act, Follow That Spy!, The Return of the Hundred-Mile-Dog, and Fantastic Mr Fox.
Numeracy
This week we started our Money topic- some of it is a bit tricky but we’re working really hard! We have also introduced the ’55 Club’ scheme to help us with our multiplication and division skills.
Health and Wellbeing
We have been continuing with our work on internet safety and how to be responsible online using a series of videos called Band Runner. The videos are funny and teach you important lessons!
IDL
We have just started our new IDL topic: Our Planet. We came up with ideas about what we know, want to know, and how we would like to learn. We are beginning the topic with some work on endangered and extinct species.
Have a good weekend!
