We have had a great few weeks and are already using our determined muscles! Here is a little update of what we’ve been up to so far:
Literacy
We have learnt our “The Smartest Giant in Town” text map, adding lots of actions to help us remember it all. We have also been writing the text out, making sure to use our always success criteria (full stops, capital letters, fingerspaces, robot arms)! We have also been practicing writing on our new handwriting lines – we have had to be very determined with these!
Maths
We have been using the language of more and less than in our lessons this week. We have been selecting a number from our hundred square and then working out what one more or one less would be. We have also been practicing reading and writing numbers as words e.g. one, two, three. Some of the numbers are very tricky so we have been playing snap to help us – this is something we could continue to practice at home!
Project
This week we started our new whole school project with Wilmott Dixon, looking at Sustainability. We have been looking at what sustainability is and how we can improve our school environment. We enjoyed going on our nature hunt where we had to look closely at our environment. We have been challenged to design a plant bed and we are currently investigating which materials would be best. We’ve narrowed our options down to clay, plastic, wood or glass. What do you think would work best? Perhaps you could investigate at home and share with us what you have discovered!
