In Numeracy and Mathematics we have been learning to add several small numbers and use our addition facts to solve problems. We played a game called ‘Top Spot’ where we had to add two next-door numbers to find the number above and race to the Top Spot. This week, some of us were also revising adding two 2-digit numbers and adding near doubles. We were also learning how to add a 3-digit number and a 2-digit number.
In Literacy we have been consolidating summarising a text. Miss Baillie read us a story called ‘Here Comes Jack Frost’ and when we were back in class, we identified the main parts of the text on our planning sheets. We used our notes to summarise the story on our own comic strips. We had to make sure that we put our main ideas in the correct order and we also illustrated our comic strips too. We worked really hard on our comic strips and we can’t wait to see them up on Miss Baillie’s infant corridor display!
This week we have also been revising answering questions about a text. Miss Harrison read us a chapter from Charlotte’s Web and we listened carefully. Afterwards, we answered different types of questions about the text. We worked hard to answer in sentences and use capital letters and full stops.
In PE, we have started Basic Moves. On Thursday we went to the hall and we took part in different activities to develop our movement skills. We looked at object control and travelling and practised dribbling, throwing and catching, skipping and striking a target.
This week we have been really busy planning and preparing for our Christmas Enterprise. We finished painting and decorating our wooden Christmas tree decorations and got them ready to sell. We also made signs, price lists and a rota for our stall using Microsoft Word.
On Friday it was the PTA Christmas Fair. We used a rota system to make sure that everyone got a turn on the stall. We sold reindeer lollipops and wooden Christmas tree decorations. We really enjoyed planning, preparing and selling our lollipops and decorations and we really enjoyed the Christmas Fair, especially the cakes and candyfloss! Thank you to everyone who supported our stall and to the PTA for organising the Christmas Fair.
Thank you for reading our blog post. We hope that you have had a good week and that you have a lovely weekend.
