Guided Reading

In Guided Reading this week, we have been looking at The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl. 
We have focused on predicting, asking questions and comprehension focusing on retrieval of information from the book.

English

In English this week we have been looking at conjunctions. Conjunctions join 2 sentences together to add extra details. Example of conjunctions are and, but, because, so, when, despite.

We have been using conjunctions when writing diary entries from different character perspectives.

Maths

In Maths this week, we have been recapping our learning on the 4 operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We used our skills to solve a number of different problems. We have become so confident at using a variety of methods!

For...

Addition and Subtraction - we would tend to use column method

Multiplication - arrays

Division - sharing circles

PSHE

In PSHE this week, we have been thinking about healthy relationships. We have spoken a lot about being kind or unkind, to think first before you speak and what we can do if we start to feel out of control. Today the children created beautiful handprints to remind them of their favourite 5 things to do to calm themselves down. 

Love to Learn

For Love to Learn, we would like the children to explain to you how they tackle the 4 operations! There are 3 challenges to choose from :)

Due to Team Cyan being on a school trip on Friday, the homework is not due in until Friday 8th July.
