In numeracy this week we have been learning about place value. We used dienes blocks to show how many tens and units each number had. We know that 1 ten stick is made up of ten individual units.
Our favourite station in our place value lesson was the dice and place value frame game. We had to take turns and roll the dice which had different numbers stuck on each side. We then rolled a dice which had a H T and U on either side.
H is for hundreds- Seamus
T is for tens – Zuzanna
U is for units.- Lennon
If you rolled the number 5 and the landed on the T then you would put the number 5 in this part of the place value frame.
We had a competition to find out who rolled the biggest number.
In reading routes this week, we read a text in our trios and then working together we had to organise the facts in the order which they appeared in the text. We had different roles: the recorder, the time keeper, the reader and the checker.
Igloos- This week we made igloos. The materials we used were: marshmallows, paper bowls and glue to make the igloo.
We followed the steps from the instructions we wrote in our writing lesson last week on how to build an igloo.
