On Monday we watched the video of The Snowman afterwards we had to sequence the story. This helped us learn that stories have a beginning, middle and end. Also it has shown Miss Boyes that we listened well to the story.

To follow on from this we wrote our own story about our adventure with the snowman.
Leo “My snowman went on the Polar Express with me so I could go to the North Pole.”
Marcus- “Me and my snowman went to candy land.”
Ana- My snowman came with me to a big sunny paradise.”
In numeracy we have been showing Miss Boyes how much we have learned about subtraction. We worked hard to complete our subtraction check-up.
Zoe- “I know that when you subtract the numbers get smaller.”
Vanessa- You always start with the biggest number when you take-away.”
Ana- Another name for subtraction is take-away.”
An example of a subtraction question by Julia- “2 less than 7 equals 5.”
Also in numeracy we have continued with place value. We had a total number and we had to find the addition calculation by splitting the number into tens and units.
An example from Aaron “39= 30+9”
An example from Ahmad- “47= 40+7”
This week we have also completed a measurement assessment to show our understanding of area, cm, volume, length and weight.
We have really enjoyed learning how to measure in different ways.
This week we have continued to practise for our nativity show “Busy Busy Bethlehem”.
Lennon “We are practising to speak and sing with good volume.”
Alice- “We have been practising our actions for our songs.”
We can’t wait for you all to see our Nativity next week.
In art with Mrs Thomson we have been creating Polar Bear pictures. We have created our pictures by using crepe paper and glue.
This week in class Miss Boyes has put up our Christmas tree. We love the twinkling lights and the decorations.
On the Altar we now have a stable to represent the Birth of Jesus; we discussed the significance of the stable.
Today is our Ninian’s Natter and we will be reflecting on our learning in term 2 and our aims.
