This week we finished reading our class novel, ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’. To celebrate our reading and use our knowledge of the story, we created ‘Wanted’ posters for Mr Fox. The farmers were getting tired of losing their chickens and geese! We used adjectives to create a description of Mr Fox and we drew a picture to help the reader. Some of us have been making our own Wanted posters during play.
During our writing lesson last week, we retold the story of ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’. We drew pictures of the beginning, middle and end to help us to order the events in the story. Afterwards, we wrote sentences to match our pictures and we made sure that we put the main points in the correct order.
This week we have been learning the sounds ‘br’ and ‘cr’. We have also been revising ‘au’ and ‘aw’. To learn our new sounds, we have been word building, playing games on our Promethean board, finding ‘br’ words in a word search and writing sentences.
Last week in Numeracy and Mathematics, we learned to count on in ones to 100. Some of us were also learning to count to 1000. This week, we have been learning about place value and we have been talking about the digits that make up a number. We have been using money and cubes to count in tens and ones/units and we have been ‘breaking up’ numbers. For example, we have been learning that 95 is the same as 90 and 5.
This week we have been exploring a beach environment and it’s habitats. On Tuesday afternoon, we looked at coastal birds and we watched short videos about oystercatchers, puffins, guillemots and curlews. We learned some facts about each bird and we drew pictures of them on our beach habitats fact sheet. On Thursday afternoon, we looked at marine mammals. Next we will be learning about seashore minibeasts and underwater plants.
On Thursday afternoon, our P6 pals came to visit. We read our reading books with them during paired reading. Some of us even went to the P6 classroom! We enjoyed spending time with our P6 pals.
Thank you for reading our blog post. We hope that you have a lovely weekend.
