This week we have been learning how to find a ½ and a ¼ of a shape.
We had to read and colour the shapes. If it said “colour 2 halves we would colour both parts of the shape.”- Kate
If it said “colour 3 quarters of the shape we would look at the 4 quarters but only colour 3 parts of the shape.” – Emma
We also revised our ability to find half of a number.
To do this we played a game where we had to find half of the numbers. For example “half of 30 is 15”- Seamus.
We also played a fun game where we had to design a flag by shading each quarter a different colour. http://www.primarygames.co.uk/fflags/fractionflagsres.html
– We revised our sight words and practised reading and spelling the words. We completed a word search for active spelling where we had to find all of the tricky words.
To begin our writing lesson we watched this video clip and which was our stimulus.- Partly Cloudy.

It’s a great clip which can be watched at home.
We had to use adjectives to describe a creature that our cloud made.
“My cloud is called Aaron he makes small fluffy dogs.”- Seamus
“The unicorns are soft and friendly and they live in a big forest.”- Emma
In art we looked at the work of Vincent Van Gogh and we really liked his sunflower painting. “We painted our own sunflowers in class.”- Carly.
We learnt the difference between the paper being portrait and landscape. We had to make sure our paper was portrait because sunflowers are so tall and they took up the whole page.
“We used dot painting for part of our flower and for the sky”. – Brooke
“We used shading of the orange and the yellow to paint the petals.” –Daniel
Our structured play now has the theme of Summer.
At structured play we have been “Making fruit kebabs, planting seeds, playing in the water and sand trays and completing Spanish games on the Ipads.”
Sorry for not having photos, there have been technical difficulties.
Have a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and P2B!
