This week in numeracy we began our division topic. We started off by learning how to share objects equally. We played an interactive game where you had to share the objects and find out the answer to the division calculation.
The link below will allow us to play the game at home. http://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?f=sharingv2 When playing the game we begin by choosing the moveable objects option in the middle.
At one of our other stations we had to read the problems on the playdoh mats and solve them by sharing the playdoh out.
We have been practising our spelling words too! Miss Boyes has included useful spelling websites in our homework. The websites have fun games for us to practise our spelling words. We have been encouraged to use it at home and update Miss Boyes on how we got on with our games.

In writing this week we worked on our ability to use question marks. We chose a character- doctor, police officer, vet and fire fighter and we thought of different questions we would like to ask them about their job. We wrote some great questions. Here are a few:
Interviewing a police officer- Do you use computers at work?- Cameron
Do your road cameras work?- Hasan
Interviewing a doctor- How do you make yourself feel better?- Emma
Where do you get the medicine?”- Angel
This week we went on another trip to the library to return our books. We also got to choose a new book to read in class. We love reading our books!
Also this week we had a special visit from the firefighters. This was very exciting because the firefighter told us all about his job and also told us what actions to take if we think there is a fire in our home.
It is very important that our smoke alarms are working, so we have been asked to check them!
We will receive a dojo point if we do. For homework next week we are being encouraged to make our own fire exit plan! The fireman also had Miss Boyes volunteer to wear the firefighter uniform. Miss Boyes looked like a real firefighter and said that the uniform was heavy. The firefighters have to get dressed quickly so they can get to the fire as quick as possible.
After Miss Boyes dressed up as a firefighter we were very lucky and got to go outside to see the fire engine! We even got to use the fire hose that the firefighters use to put out the fire.
We are really looking forward to health week! Have a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and P2B!
