Classroom News –

During their visits to the Library, K/1 have written a book. It is proving very popular in their classroom.

K/1 were also working on their sounds this morning. Today’s sound is zzz, so there were lots of bees buzzing around in their classroom.

Next door 5/6 were very focussed in their maths session.

A visit to 2/3/4 enabled an opportunity to listen to some of David Walliams’ work in Gangsta Granny.

The bag hooks were installed last weekend and they look terrific!

NUMERACY
Year 5 and 6 students have started a new unit called Shapes in My environment. They are now beginning to look at how to use a protractor to measure angles. The most important skill is to estimate the size of the angle by asking if the angle is bigger or smaller than 90 degrees. This then supports the choice of which set of numbers to use for measurement.
Year 2/3/4 have looked at 2D shapes and 3D objects. They have started to record properties of 2 D. We have also looked at the description of parallel lines and find pairs in a variety of 2D shapes. We are also looking at identifying angles that are bigger or smaller than 90 degrees.
Kindergarten and year 1 have started to look at patterns. They are enjoying making variations.

K/1 have begun explore time, first they drew their idea of a clock.
