We have had a fantastic week this week in literacy designing our own mythical island. We have been drawing our ideas and describing features using expanded noun phrases and giving a guided tour of our islands. We have been looking at sentence starts and experimenting with opening them in a variety of ways. Such as starting with: an expanded noun phrase, starting with a preposition, time adverb or even a fronted adverbial. Of course we have been selecting adventurous adjectives too!
Maths
In maths, we have been getting our head around some mental methods for calculating. We have been using our knowledge of partitioning to add and subtract near multiples of 10 and 100 by rounding and adjusting and we have been identifying the operation in multiplication and division word problems.
History
We have been getting groovy with the ancient Greek gods and we have been working together to create fact books.
PE
In PE we have been working on our body control and core strength as we learn new moves in yoga.
In other news...don't forget our Easter celebration is taking place next week on Wednesday 29th March at 9:15 am in Necton church. The children will be singing, performing poems and reading prayers and everybody is welcome!
