Week Two

In Literacy, we have successfully learned to spell words with short vowel sounds. All spelling words are available to practice at home on the google classroom. In writing, our focus has been on using adjectives and adverbs to add detail into our sentences. We have been learning about visualisation through our reading books.

In Numeracy, we have been focusing on addition and subtraction strategies. Our focus this week has been on adding/ subtracting 1 digit numbers to/from 3 digit numbers and adding/subtracting 10 or 100 to/from 3 digit numbers. We have been talking about the different strategies that we can use and deciding what strategy works best for each of us.

We have spent time reflecting on our learning from term one and discussing what it means to be a ‘Successful Learner’. We enjoyed spending time selecting work for our profile jotters and discussing our hopes and dreams for the rest of the year.

We have started a film study based on the movie ‘Brave’. We are using the Pixar movie as a stimulus for exploring Scotland. This week our learning has focused on Scottish clans and the history of tartan.
