Welcome to the weekly round up. There has been so much great learning going on in 1MD this week as you will see from the pictures below. As there is so much I could choose from I have decided to select some of my highlights.
In writing this week the children have started to write up the story of the little red hen with a few changes. We have talked about what makes a great ‘golden sentence’- capital letters at the beginning of a sentence, a full stop at the end, finger spaces and of course it has to make sense! there will be more learning around golden sentences throughout the year. I have to say I am so impressed with the writing that was produced- great quality! Our knowledge of sentences came in very handy on Friday when the children had to write reports for the police, as our book corner got broken into by a strange creature. Children also made wanted posters to alert people in the school about the criminal we were looking for.
In maths we continued to consolidate our knowledge of teen numbers using a range of equipment to represent the numbers.
Finally in our weekly metacognition session (where we learn about our thinking and how to be better learners) we started to talk about the feelings that we have when learning new skills. We discussed feeling frustrated and happy in equal measures. Then we all practised trying to tie our shoelaces. Some children already knew how to do this skill so they became great coaches for their classmates. We got so into learning our skill that we forgot that our afternoon break had started!
Next week we will continue our learning around Autumn so I would like to encourage all children to try and bring in 3 different types of leaves tomorrow for further study.
I also want to challenge the children to build their by own number lines at home using objects from around the house. So, for the number 1 there should be 1 object, for the number 2- 2 objects. Can you build a number line all the way up to 20?
Take a picture of your number line and email it to me at meshendiadampier@rosendale.cc and I will put them up on the blog!
See you all tomorrow- enjoy the rest of the weekend.
