This week we have had a big focus on developing our mental strategies for adding two digit numbers. We have had a lot of discussion about the different strategies that we can use to help us. We are all really confident when using the 100 square grid or a number line and are now challenging ourselves further by trying to do some of our calculations mentally. Next week we hope to explore our strategies for subtracting two digit numbers.
This week our Literacy focused on creating a fact file of all the information we had gathered while listening to a story. The children did an amazing job of these and remembered to label all their diagrams.
As part of our IDL we researched how long it took for different plastics to decompose. We couldn’t believe that it takes between 80-100 years for a can of juice to decompose! The pupils worked very well in small groups to complete this task.
This term we are focusing on our running, jumping and throwing skills within P.E. to help us prepare for Sports Day in June. We had great fun this week playing Dishes and Domes.
We hope you all have a lovely long weekend!
