Happy Friday everyone!
This week we are using The Fist Of Five to assess our learning (five fingers mean you have fully understood your task and feel confident with the skill, four fingers means you are nearly there perhaps just a little more practise needed, three fingers you needed some support but then were able to do it, two fingers you needed support to do most of it, one finger you needed support and would still need support in the future with this type of task)
You can either show your score to someone at home or if you have recorded work in your jotter, draw a circle and put little lines coming out of it to represent your fingers.
I have completed the ai and oa spelling activity below. How did you do with this activity? What first of five would you give for your understanding of the ai and oa sound?
I have shared my free writing story with you. I decided to write a story about swimming in the sea because it is one of my favourite things to do when I am on holiday. Can you spot any mistakes in my story?
I tried to include all of the success criteria in my story too:
- A capital letter at the start and a full stop at the end of every sentence
- Use at least one conjunction (joining word eg and, because)
- Use at least one adjective (describing word eg a colour)
- Make sure you form your letters correctly
Did you manage to include all of the criteria in your story? Show your fist of five for this.
Number Talks
I looked at the 2 jars for number talks and have shared my strategies with you. Did you use the same strategies as me or something different?
Counting on is a very good number talks strategy. This episode of numberjacks explains counting on well. Why don’t you watch it:
How do you feel about using the counting on strategy for number talks? Show your fist of five for counting on.
The weekly grid for next week will be getting posted this afternoon to allow parents time to prepare for the following week.
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Davenport
