LiteracyThis week in Literacy we have been editing our amazing stories and changing the sentence structures to make them more grammatically correct. We created a code to help us understand what was needed in a sentence and used these to find the subject, noun, adjective, verbs and even some adverbs. | MathsThis week we have been learning about division. We have learnt that division means sharing equally. We started off by sharing into shapes and finding out answers to problems this way. We learnt, however, that this can take a long time if we are dividing with BIG numbers. We have, therefore, been learning how to divide on a number line. Since doing this we have worked out the relationship between division and multiplication and how they are the inverse to each others operations. |

LiteracyThis week we landed on planet Earth; as... aliens! We thought it would be nice to send a postcard home to our parents back in Outer Space so that they knew what we had been up to. We had to practise writing in the past tense and using apostrophe's and exclamation marks in our writing. Take a look at what we got up to. | MathsThis week during math we have been further practising our mental addition skills. We have been practising two-digit and three-digit mental addition, and some calculations which involve carrying numbers into the next place value...all done in our heads without paper, calculators or smartphones to help us! We've helped our friends learn and explain their thinking by using lots of fun cooperative learning structures, which not only helped us with mental addition but also other important thinking and social skills. Next week we'll be trying the inverse of mental addition - mental subtraction! |
