Teacher Highlights:

Literacy:

This week the pupils had to take a photo using their laptop of an example of an information report and upload it onto their sway. We discussed that an information report is most similar to a discussion text. Why? Because they are both giving information and describing the characteristics of something. However, in an information report, if you are writing about a person, it is not always necessary to describe the how they look. The description section always depends on what you are writing about !

Numeracy:

We can all round a number with two decimal places to the nearest whole number. We realised that we are only interested in the tenth digit. If it is 4 or less we round down but if it is 5 or more, we round up.

We can also round a number with two decimal places to the nearest tenth. We are only interested in the hundredth digit. We can use a number line to help us with this to show which two possible numbers are answer could be.

We have also created fantastic posters ”How to Stay Safe Online’ and learnt how to draw 3d cube to be part of the computer for our poster.

Hot Chocolate Winner: Daisy for always trying her hardest, being a very kind friend and always producing outstanding hanging sentences.
