Improving Our Reading Skills



Welcome to week 12's blog

This week we were busy preparing for our assembly and we hope that you enjoyed the children's thoughts on how they have overcome an adversity in their life. The videos were sent out via the line group this week.

Maths
This week we have been discovering what fractions are, and how we can write them as numbers. We have learned about halves, quarters and thirds. We learned about the words "denominator" and "numerator" fractions are also useful when we are talking bout telling the time and that is what we will be investigating next week.










Library
miss Marie really enjoys when we visit the library. We love going there to hear her stories and choosing new books to take home. there is always an interesting activity to complete.










English
We are trying to expand our writing skills by including adjectives and adverbs in our sentences. In class each week we also read to 
Mr. John and show what we have been doing to improve our skills at home. parents, please please please encourage your children to read every day. If you get the chance, read to your children before they go to sleep at night. They will love it and look forward to it each night!






Reading Eggs
While the class works independently with the "Reading Eggs" app, every learner has a chance to read to Mr. John. If they are showing confidence and improved reading knowledge they can have their book changed and possibly move up a level. 
So get reading at home girls and boys!!!










Natasha Singapore 
This week our second anthem was that of Singapore. Our class member, Natasha is from Singapore, so she was able to proudly stand in front of her flag as the Singapore national anthem was played.

Congratulations
These students have all been working hard to improve their reading and maths skills.






Science Day
This week we will celebrate science by having a whole day dedicated to science activities in each class. The teachers in each class will have resources and different experiments for the children to interact with. We are looking forward to a fun day.

Welcome To Week Four Hello to you all. We are now back on track and everyone is enjoying being with their friends and learning with them,  back at school.  Congratulations These people have all been busy using our "Study Ladder" app.  At various points along their learning journey, in "Study Ladder," the children are awarded certificates to highlight their progress.  Well done to you all!!! FEBRUARY We came outside to observe our calendar and discuss the unusualness of the month of February. We noted the spelling of the word and I pointed out the silent "r" that many adults forget about! We then had a guess at how many days there were in February and the discussed the reason that there are 29 days every four years in this month.  The learners thought that it was very strange that we could just add another day on to a month. PSPE The class discussed the word "Teamwork." We then shared our ideas about what makes a good team, what jobs are ...

Congratulations Well done to the students who have worked on "Study Ladder" during our qurentine period. these activities are extra learning fun to emphasie the learning that we do in class. This week we were learning about right angles and the different ways that we can reposition shapes. Next week we will be focusing on learning our three time table and properties of three dimensional shapes, as we hope to add the knowledge of angles we learnt this week. English Writing  Our writing has two focuses at the moment. We are trying to improve our grammar and editing skills as well as write interesting stories. This week we started a story online and completed it at school. We asked the children to write about their feelings about learning online. They were able to say why they liked or disliked this situation. Next week we will continue to focus our attention on increasing the amount of words that we write in a story and try to edit the story as best as we can.   Maths ...
