Good morning!

It’s Friday so that means self-assessment time.

This week we will return to focusing on two stars and a wish.

For this I would like you to choose two things you think you did really well with this week with your learning (these are the two stars) and write them down or tell someone at home.  Then decide on one thing you would like to improve (this is your wish).

Literacy

To assess your spelling get someone at home to call out the words from the weekly grid and you write them down.  How many can you spell correctly?

For your writing use this writing skills success criteria to assess how you got on:

Your success criteria for this writing was to;

• Write at least 6 lines
• Finish each line with a rhyming word
• Use neat handwriting

Mark each of your success criteria with tickled pink or green for growth.

Mathematics and Numeracy

If you find any of the following images a little small to read, clicking on them makes them a little bigger.

Numeracy answers:

I hope you have had fun this week.

Please remember that Monday is a holiday. It will be Tuesday next week that your weekly grid will be posted.

Good morning everyone!

Self-Assessment

We are going to use our Growth mindset this week to help us self-assess our learning.

If you are ‘stuck’ or need help remember the importance of the word YET!

“I can’t do this…yet!”

This means we never give up and keep trying!  Watch this Sesame Street video about “The Power Of Yet”.

Literacy

We have been trying hard to learn the new sound qu.  Have a look at these words and decide, which ones have I spelled correctly and which ones have a mistake.

qeen

quack

quic

Here are some of my examples of alliteration;

Ten tigers tiptoeing to tea.

 

Seven sharks swimming slowly.

Numeracy

These were the questions asked this week;

1. Share 8 sweets equally between 4 people.
2. Share 9 sweets equally between 3 people.
3. Share 10 sweets equally between 3 people.

I drew pictures to help me work out the answers.  Drawing pictures is a great strategy to use to help you solve a problem.

1)I worked out that each person would get 2 sweets each.

2) I worked out that each person would get 3 sweets each.

3) I worked out that each person would get 3 each and 1 would be left over.

I hope you had fun this week and learned something new.

Have a great weekend and don’t forget it will be Tuesday next week that the weekly grid will be posted because Monday is a holiday.

Stay safe,

Mrs Currie

I found this lovely video last night called ‘I Am With You’ and thought I would share it with you all today (and Olaf always makes me smile!)

How have you been getting on with sharing objects into equal groups? I found this fun game where you can continue to practise sharing objects into equal groups.

This week in our reading and listening and talking activities we were learning about the difference between fiction books and non-fiction books. Did you speak to an adult about the difference between these types of books? Watch the video below to listen to the differences and to play a game about the differences between fiction and non-fiction.

This week we have been learning about halves. Can you use these pictures to split each whole picture into half?

It has been lovely to hear from so many of you this week. Keep up the hard work, have a great day.

Split each of these numbers in half. Remember that half means put the number into two equal groups.
