Well it's the weekend and I think all of Seahorse class deserve a rest after another full week of learning.
This week in numeracy, we have been tackling fractions. We have been using the computers as we identified and showed fractions of a shape. Comparing fractions is tricky but we decided it really helps if you chop up and share out Curly Wurlys between groups of children helping us visualise how to to help order and compare fractions. Would you rather have two eighths of a Curly Wurly or a half? We continue our work on fractions next week by finding fractions of an amount, investigating tenths and starting to add fractions.
In literacy we have been doing sentence and word work in preparation for our next writing unit: diary entries and writing in role. We have been looking at conjunctions and adverbials, making our sentences really precise.
The highlight of the week was definitely our trip to Norwich castle for our ancient Egyptian themed activity day. We learnt all about: the daily life of an ancient Egyptian through drama and role play; Egyptian jewelry making; mummification and handled artefacts that were over 3000 years old. Here are some of the highlights of the day...
