Maps

We have been creating maps to help Hansel & Gretel get home.  We drew our own maps and then had to write directions for them that someone else had to follow.

Postcard Predictions

Today we were looking at the reading strategy 'predicting'. The children went around the tables predicting where all of the 'postcards' were from. They had to work as a group and talk about what languages might be spoken in that country, what foods might be eaten, what types of clothing might be worn and what kinds of activities might they do in a place like this. Predicting is an important strategy for readers as it helps them to anticipate what they are reading. It encourages them to become active readers.

What's your favourite?

We have been doing Statistics in Maths.  The children have all come up with a question that they would like to investigate and are collecting the data they need to create their graphs

Footprints on the Future

We are starting our new topic 'Footprints on the Future' so we worked in our table groups discussing what we think this could be about. We will look at these sheets at the end of our topic to see if our predictions were correct

All ready for the water slide!!!

The Room 8 animals

The children were all given an animal name, they had to find their animal partner using only the sound the animal makes. Lots of fun.
