In Literacy this week we were writing character descriptions. We worked in groups to draw a familiar character then had to fill the inside of the character with words to describe their personality. Around the outside we wrote adjectives to describe their appearance. We then shared these with the class and discussed our ideas. We then created our own characters for our Fantasy stories.
In Numeracy we continued our learning on division. We practised sharing sweets between different amounts of people. We also used the Numicon to learn about the ‘grouping’ method and started to link this to our knowledge of multiplication. We started to apply our learning to real life problems. Miss Mudd needed some help with the seating plan for her wedding so we had to split the guests up equally onto different tables. We also used our problem solving mats to show all of the different strategies we can use to tackle a multiplication problem.
In IDL we were focusing on mapping and Atlas skills. We learnt how to use an Index and worked in pairs to complete an atlas scavenger hunt. Next week we will start to draw maps of our local area.
In ICT we were learning how to use the Paint programme. We used it to draw out our story settings and characters that we had created. Our P6 buddies came to help us as it was a little bit tricky.
In Art we were learning about colour mixing. We were using different colours to create an African sunset and we enjoyed experimenting with the different shades and tones. We then cut our some animal silhouettes to bring it to life.
On Tuesday we made some slime for the class. Last week we had been learning about the i-e sound so this fit in perfectly. We have enjoyed playing with it in our free play time.
A big well done to N and E for their achievements at Gymnastics. We are very proud of you girls.
