Hi All
In literacy this week we learned how to use commas in speech. In our reading lessons we were using thinking reader strategies of main ideas, prior knowledge, visualisation, metalinguistic, inference and summarising. We discussed the settings and characters using picture and reading challenge cards. We wrote a report about whether we should use as much as 75% of land for farming. We also wrote an imaginative story about what it would be like to live on a farm
In numeracy we learned how to divide and practised our times tables using division wheels, snakes and ladders and division bingo games.
In health and wellbeing we played basketball with Mrs Reid. We practised fitness with Mrs McAlpine focusing on stamina and walked and jogged a mile a day.
In learning across the curriculum we learned patterns in our NYCOS last session! We are making a tractor to put on our farming display. We watched Springtime on the farm. We learned about the process of cows, pigs, chickens and fish going from farms to getting to the shops. We learned about how animals were looked after and looked at the differences between chickens that were kept inside and free range chickens that were able to have more room to move about.
Have a good weekend!
