This week we started our Spanish lessons.  We learnt to say simple greetings and questions.

For French, Mrs Gordon and our class consolidated all the learning we have done last term.  We created pictures which reflect colour and number of animals.  We had to read a whole phrase in French and draw what it meant.

For Numeracy, we have been strengthening our skills in number talks.  We identified number pattern and sequence. We revised on all our 4 maths operations and discussed/ worked on  several word problems involving all operations.

 

For literacy, we explored the use of subjunctives.  We began our short read activities which we will be doing 4 times each week. We further extended our comprehension skills as we answered literal and inferential questions from  the poem entitled ” The Song of Hiawatha”.
