We started our literacy circle this week and everybody was very pleased with their choice of book. There was lots of discussion about the cover, illustrations and our initial feelings about the story line and characters. Mrs Tulloch had a job trying to get us to stop talking. Everyone has a role for next week and we look forward to listening to how everyone in the group manages their literacy circle task.
We were using dictionaries to help when up leveling our writing. For comprehension, we focused on reading for information and this should help us prepare for our class talks.
In maths, we focused on equivalent fractions and simplifying fractions. This was quite tricky and we need to practise the method we have been using in class. Next week we will be finding fractions of an amount. Mrs Gordon was pleased with our work on area and we will continue with perimeter.
We started our new IDL geography trail about Scotland and used a map to show: what we know, what we would like to find out and how we are going to do it.
At PE, we practiced our drills at basketball and had some very fast games. Lots of double dribbles though!
Mrs Bain gave us instruments and we were practicing keeping different rhythms.
Mr Logan continued with our internet safety and we completed our posters.
We continued with Scratch and have been showing our work, cartoon and movies to rest of the class. They are fab.
