This week we have been talking about how learning something new can be scary at first, but with practise it gets easier. Mrs Macrae told us that when we make a mistake and we learn from it, it actually makes our brain grow! 

In maths we were learning that adding can be done in any order but subtraction can not. We also found that by spotting our bonds of ten when adding three numbers, made the calculation much easier. We played these games in school and thought you might like to try it at home.

In writing we practised writing our tricky words, making sure we formed our letters correctly at the same time. The lists of words we need to be able to spell are attached at the bottom of this blog.

We had fun doing PE outside with the hoops. We were learning to skip with them and then had a go at hula-hooping. It was amazing to see the progress within just one lesson.

In Geography we looked at weather symbols and then watched a weather forecast to see them being used.

We finished reading our latest class story book Esio Trot by Roald Dahl. We were surprised at the ending.
