Dear All,
A smaller week but just as productive. Have a look at the learning this week before enjoying a restful weekend 🙂
Maths
Continuing the addition and subtraction unit, we’ve been looking at a wide variety of methods to add. This has included counting on, using blocks or base ten, number lines and more. I have been trying to encourage the students to independently use the maths materials when they need some extra help. It has been very useful for the following topics covered:
- Aut.2.5 – Addition – add together
- Aut.2.6 – Addition – add more
- Aut.2.7 – Doubles
Literacy
This week we finished writing our own Lost & Found story! Many of the students were able to publish their stories for display – the rest will have some more time next week. They all worked so hard, using their best handwriting, finger spaces and full stops. After so much writing, next week we’ll focus on oracy and take a deep dive into poetry. They’ll explore lots of different types of poems and perhaps even make one of their own!
IPC
Finally, in IPC we used our ears to learn about sound! The students took a trip to the music room to try out different instruments and considered how we make sound, as well as different types of sound. After learning “high” and “low”, we discussed how sounds are vibrations in the air. With only 1 sense left, we’ll finish the unit next week, ready for “It’s Shocking!” the week after 🙂
Continuing our locomotion topic, in P.E the students put their running skills to the test in some relay activities! Working in teams, the class practiced how to “pass” quickly and efficiently, before putting it to use in some relay races. Everyone was able to beat their times and they were plenty tired by the end! Ready for a holiday!
Notices
As this is a holiday there will be no homework sent home. Last week’s homework can be brought in next Friday (02/10/26) as normal 🙂 As always books come back Thursday and homework on Friday.
Have a great Chuseok!
