Big Talk 29.11.13

This week your child’s talk homework is to think about 5 sentences that they could write about this picture.  The picture shows the witch in Hansel and Gretel.

Talking about this will help support their big talk session on  Friday.  Please think about wow words (adjectives) that the children can use in their sentences.

If possible could the TV be turned off while this discussion

is taking place.

Thanks for your support.

Harley

 

I am so proud of your new attitude to reading and writing.  I know you have been working hard at home practising your letter formation and phonic sounds because I can see your hard work paying off in your literacy work at school.  You are really trying hard to sound out to spell independently and your concentration has been excellent.  Superstar hard work Harley, well done.

An all round golden girl who follows instructions the first time and works with super independence and concentration.  What a great example you set, thank you Zoe.

Identifying old and new light sources

We have been creating our own mini time lines using three pictures of light sources.  We had to label the time line, label it oldest and newest and then place the light sources on the time line.  These were the pictures we were using.

Can you remember what each light source is called and how you ordered them?

Orienteering with year 5

We had an invite form year 5 to share their orienteering course that they were completing.  Thank you year 5 we all had great fun.

Outdoor maths

Last week we looked at finding halves and quarters of shapes and everyday objects.  This week we moved on to look at finding half and doubles of given numbers.  We worked as teams outside.  Each team member had to show the answer on their whiteboards and then a nominated team member raced to the hoop to fetch back the answer.  Everyone looked like they were having loads of fun and were able to show some great maths.

Guess the object

Miss Two Shoes came into school this morning with a fascinating object.  We have tried to work out what it was.  Can you let me know what you think?????

testing our safety jackets

After learning about the Green Cross Code we designed our own jackets that would help to keep us safe when we are out in the dark by helping us to be easily seen.  After planning the jacket on paper we then made a small version of the jacket and tested it in either our light boxes or our dark den.  We identified two key findings;

1. The jacket was brighter if it was one main colour
2. Using reflective material like silver stripes or sparkly fabric helped to reflect the light from the
    torch and made the jacket stand out more.

We may have some future fashion designers in class!!!
