English

We continued to learn through the story 'How to Grow a Dragon'.

We have focused on using imperative (bossy) verbs in our writing this week, leading up to writing our own instructions about how to grow a dragon.

Phonics

Some of us learnt sh, ch, th and ng.

Some of us learnt aw, wh and ph.

Maths

This week in Maths, we learnt the words 'part' and 'whole'. We used part-whole models to represent different addition number sentences within 20.

We used the 'counting on' method to work out the answers.

R.E.

We continued to explore what ‘prayer’ means to Christians.

We read and explored the letter from Pope Francis about how to look after our world.

Art

We used water soluble pens to sketch objects from the classroom. We then added water to see how it mixes with the ink. Finally we added watercolour paint.

Computing

We recapped the different parts of a computer and laptop. We then used Paintz app and practised typing for the first time! We were amazed that  iPads have a keyboard that we can type on.

If you would like to access Paintz from home, the website is www.paintz.app
