This week in Big Writing we were learning about the differences between facts and opinions. For example we think we are the best class in the whole school (which is our opinion) but we know we came top in our school out of all the classes that played in the SumDog contest (this is a fact). Next week we will use this knowledge to write a newspaper report on Ancient Egypt.
In Numeracy we continued to use formal methods (we call them chimney sums) for adding and subtracting. We are now using hundreds, tens and units. Next week Mrs Newton has said she is going to give us even harder challenges to solve.
We learned about Tutankhamun. We took turns playing Howard Carter and asked him questions about his amazing discovery. We used different sources to learn about the discovery and why it is important that we keep this information. Next week we will be taking part in an Ancient Egypt’s Got Talent Show- all about the GODS!!!
Most of our parents came to see Mrs Newton- we think they liked what they heard 🙂
Breaking News- We will be going to the National Museum in Edinburgh on the 12th June for a visit, taking part in the Mummy workshop and visiting their new tomb. All the details will be sent home at the start of May (we will need 2 parent helpers per class).
Have great weekend- 2 weeks to go!
