We've done loads of amazing learning this week...
In maths, we have been learning more skills to help us multiply. We learnt that multiplication is commutative , so it can be done in any order. We used empty number lines to multiply and then used all of our skills to solve some problems.
In English, we have been reading non-fiction texts. The books we've looked at were all about space. We had to compare 2 or 3 books to see whether they all had good pictures, what the size of the writing was like, whether they had labels, a contents page, index and glossary. We created a mind map to show the facts we found out.
We also challenged ourselves to write our own stories, or carry on ones we'd already started in Creative Writing.
In science, we had to find out which materials were waterproof to fix Mrs Grimes' umbrella. We thought that plastic would be the best material. We tested it by pouring water onto it and we were right!
Well done to Riley for achieving his goals and getting this week's Star Award.
Over the half term holidays, we have assembly words to practise and a poster to design for the fun run. Our challenge is to practise reading and telling the time.
Have a great half term holiday everyone!
I really enjoyed trying to see which materials we could use to fix Mrs Grimes' umbrella. I liked looking at non-fiction books. Mine was about the solar system and I also enjoyed writing my own story.
