  Literacy

  This week we have been learning about instructions. We linked our Literacy to our Numeracy work and thought about an invention that would help us with our number work. We came up with a sockodile! A sockodile is based on the crocodile that helps us remember the More Than and Less Than signs. We learnt how to write instructions using First, Next, After That, and Finally and followed them to make our sockodiles.

   

  Numeracy

  We have been learning the language Greater Than, More Than, Fewer and Less than to compare numbers. We have been working out what one more and one less of a given number is. We have used the More Than and Less than signs < > to work out number problems. Our sockadile has helped us!

   

  Topic

  We have been learning about famous inventors. We looked at old phones and new phones and compared them. We learnt all about the life of Alexander Graham Bell who invented the telephone.

   

  We learnt language such as modern, long ago, recent and new and recorded our ideas by sorting real phones and putting them on a timeline.

  Wed 10 Oct 2018

  This week, Year 2 have been learning to count in twos, fives and tens. We have been taking part in some exciting activities such as creating our very own space pictures with each planet having a different number in the five times table on it. It was important that we were able to put the planets in order.

  In Topic, we have been learning about Vincent Van Gogh and studying one of his most famous paintings, ‘Starry Night’. We have used some of his ideas and techniques to create our own line drawings.

  

• Year 3 News

  Wed 10 Oct 2018

  In Maths, Year 3 have been learning to add and subtract 1, 10 and 100.  We used base 10 to help us understand the place value, especially when we needed to exchange a 100 for 10 tens!! 

   

  In English we described a big, grisly bear using great adjectives.  At first I was scared of the picture of the bear because its mouth was open and it looked like it would jump out of the page and eat me!! 

   

  Our topic is linked to our book Stone Age boy, and we are learning about life for men, women and children.  We looked at what jobs they would do, what food they would eat and what they wore.  We have done lots of exciting art this week drawing cave paintings and learning how to cross hatch. 

   

  PE has been fun so far this term as we have been learning how to play hockey.  At first we learnt how to hold a stick and then to pass the ball to each other.  Soon we will be ready to play a match!
