Greetings earthlings!
The children have had two brilliant days back after half-term despite the grey and drizzly weather!
In English we have begun to investigate the features of non-chronological reports. We predicted what features we would see in an information book e.g. photo, diagram, index, facts etc. (It really helps if you know your alphabet because the index and glossary are in alphabetical order. ) We have looked at information sheets and non-fiction books to start getting ideas for our own non-chronological reports. We will spend the next two weeks researching, planning and writing our own texts to make a big book. If Mrs Dewing likes them, we hope we will be able to put them in the library.
In Maths we have looked at funky fractions! We have started with fractions of shapes. We have tried not to be tricked by the denominator (the number on the bottom) being bigger e.g. 1/2 is bigger than 1/4 because you are getting one of two equal parts rather than one of four equal parts. This week's homework will have a fractions theme too.
On Friday we will be attending Astronaut Academy again and doing lots of different learning activities to help us.
Signing off for now,
Mrs R
