In writing this week we looked at how to write an article for a newspaper. We used one of our Percy the Park Keeper stories and pretended we were newspaper reporters. We had to write a report for the newspaper about how the little rabbit managed to fall down the old well and was rescued by his friends. We had to use the correct style of writing by identifying who, what, where, when and how the event happened and the people involved. We have written really nice articles and added in some pictures for the readers to look at.
In Maths we have been working hard on developing and improving our mental strategies through our Number Talks and Big Maths activities.
We have also started to change our main corridor display and break out play areas. The new theme will be based around the Stick Man stories. We have been watching the Stick Man video and discussing what things we could include in our displays and activity stations. Thank you to everyone who has collected and handed in sticks. These will be put to good use to help us design and create the new area.
We finished off the week by holding a BEAR (Be Excited About Reading) event to celebrate Book Week where we all brought in our favourite books to read and share by torchlight. We put out all the lights and closed the blinds to make it really dark, and displayed an image of a burning log fire on the Smart Board to add a lovely warm cosy glow to the classroom. At the end of the event we also received our Read, Write and Count Bags to take home and share with our friends and families.
