Literacy: Playing games can help us to learn different spelling rules. This week for active spelling we played a variety of spelling games to reinforce spelling rules we have learnt before. We continued to read our class novel, The mysterious journey of Edward Tulane. Edward has been on so many adventures and his character changes with each adventure, we used our imagination and created the different personalities that Edward has developed. During guided reading this week, we used our individual reading novel and completed tasks that were based on grammar, we used the text to find different nouns, connectives and punctuations. We’ve been learning about the Industrial Revolution and what it was like to be a child worker. During Literacy we analysed the elements and features of a diary entry. Using our knowledge on the life of a child worker we wrote a diary entry to explain a typical day in the life of a child worker. Our grammar focus this week was identifying and using direct and indirect speech correctly in a text.
Numeracy: We have continued learning about time and how and where it is used in real life context. We have been consolidating solving and calculating time problems.
HWB: This week is internet safety week. With the rise of online gaming, we have been learning the importance of the responsible use of the internet and the safety of chatting on line. We have discussed and shared our thoughts and ideas on what it means to us to be a Global citizen.
RME: Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from Haman, who was planning to kill all the Jews. We a little late with the celebration, but this week, we learnt about Purim, we learnt how and why it is celebrated. It was a very exciting lesson as we even got to do some baking, this gave us an opportunity to experience some of the foods that are eating during the celebration.
