English – This week we have been planning and writing a non-chronological report about sea turtles. The children ensured they included an introduction, title, subheadings and subject specific words. These are now up on display outside the classroom and look fantastic!
They have also been using the prefix ‘un’ and using these in their own sentences and sorting different types of sentences including commands, statements, questions and exclamations.
In Read Write Inc the red group have been reading ‘The jar of oil’ and writing a letter in the role as the poor man to the prince begging him for another jar of oil. The blue group have been reading ‘Follow me’ and writing about their experiences of riding a bike for the first time.
Maths – In maths the children have been drawing pictograms by sorting objects into different groups, recording information into a tally chart and using the data from a tally chart to record into a pictogram. Then they were interpreting pictograms by identifying which items are the least/most popular and identifying the correct sentences referring to a pictogram. They have also been making patterns with shapes by using quarter turns clockwise and anticlockwise.
Topic – The children have been finding out about the Daintree rainforest and answering questions such as; What is it? Where is it? Why is it interesting? They then used this information to make their own PowerPoint to share their information with others.
There will be no spellings test next week – well done to all the children for working so hard to learn these over the year.
