We have enjoyed…

I have had so much fun making our own islands.

I really enjoyed our last class novel – Asha and the Spirit Bird.  I am thoroughly enjoying our new class novel – The Island at the end of Everything.

I really enjoyed playing rounders as part of our P.E.  working on communication skills, game strategies and speed.

In drama i enjoyed improvising because i didn’t have to learn lines and i could say what i wanted.

What we are learning next…

We will be exploring direct speech in Literacy.

In numeracy we will continue to work on our fluency and accuracy in our times tables and we will revisit place value and the 4 operations.  We will also touch on word problems.
