A shorter week this week, due to Friday's Teacher Training Day, but still a very busy one.
We have continued our writing inspired by the book 'Where the Wild Things Are'. The children have been sequencing the story, re-telling it orally and re-writing the story. When writing the story, they needed to make sure that they included the most important details and story vocabulary.
In Maths we have been finding 10 more and 10 less of a given number. The children have used 100 squares to help them. We have talked about how the ones digits do not change. We have also continued to look at different strategies for adding a single digit to a 2 digit number and 2 single digit numbers where the tens are crossed.
The children are really enjoying this half term's Art. This week we have been looking at the work of Mark Rothko. We have been using primary colours to make secondary colours and exploring different shades of colours.
It has been a busy week for 'Special Days'. On Tuesday the children came to school wearing 'odd socks' for Anti-Bullying Week. Today they came in their own clothes to raise money for 'Children in Need'.
I hope the children enjoy their longer weekend.
