TRANSCRIPT
English:
This week we have been looking at non-fiction
books and learning about how we can use these
for research purposes. We have enjoyed finding
out interesting and unknown facts, as well as
planning brilliant front cover pages for our
upcoming animal research projects.
Maths:
In maths we have been developing our
understanding of strategies for addition. We
have looked at counting on our own number
lines, using partitioning, grouping with Diennes
and counting in tens and units using a hundred
square. We then applied our understanding of
appropriate strategies to help us solve worded
problems.
Science:
This week we have been looking at animal classification. We discussed different ways we could classify animals according to their characteristics, learning about mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish along the way. Spellings:
running, chatting, shopping, sitting, clapping, planning, swimming, hopping
Wear it Wild
On Monday we are launching our research
topic on endangered animals . The children
may come to school dressed in animal
costumes, animal print clothing or wearing
animal ears and tails, etc, in
exchange for a
donation, collected in class, to
the WWF.
Maths Day was a great success. We had lots of fun
learning to measure the height and length of different
animals, reasoning about number as well as
completing a maths trail .
