Our first week back in P2/3 began with a discussion about New Year and resolutions. We then set our own resolutions and personal goals for the coming year and have thought about what we could do in order to achieve them. On Friday we also started our learning logs that we will fill in every Friday morning. They encourage us to think about what we have been learning that week and will also help us to keep track of our goals.

In numeracy we have been continuing to think like mathematicians and use mathematical language through our number talks. We have been encouraged to think about whether we agree or disagree with our peers answers and how we can prove that our own is correct. We have also been looking at rounding numbers.

To finish off our Charlie and the Chocolate Factory topic we completed a book review to evaluate and share our opinion of the book. We learnt what the word ”evaluate” meant and spoke about some of the reasons why book reviews are carried out. In writing we looked at a newspaper article and spoke about some of the features a news article contains. We then looked at another article and worked together as a class to create actions for each part of the story to help us remember it.
