We have had a busy week. Read on to find out more.
Numeracy – we have looking at number sequences and working out patterns. If the numbers are going up in value we have learned that this means we need to add and if they are going down we need to subtract. Then we had to work out what the intervals were between the numbers so that we could continue the pattern. We have also been exploring our understanding of “doubles”, we then have linked this to our two times table! so we now know that 3 + 3 = 6 can also be written as 2 X 3 = 6. Ask us a 2 x table equation and we’ll solve it using our doubles. As a challenge discuss how halving could be linked to this?
Literacy – we have started to learn how to write an effective description. We read a description about The New Girl. We then applied this to help us write a description of someone we know. We learned that using the conjunction “because” was really useful to allow us to give examples of a characteristic.
RE – we have learned all about when Jesus rose from the dead on Easter Sunday.
Global Goals – we have been learning how to look after our planet Earth by using the messages from the Global Goals to help us. The children also all received a letter today about our class trip to Polkemmet Owl Sanctuary that will link with this topic.
Have a great long weekend,
Mrs Currie
