Summarising Simple Solution


For reading we have been learning to summarising the text.We have done this by  using who,what,where,when,why and how questions the book we were reading was called Simple solution it was about a truck that was stuck.

I found it easy to read the book.
I found it tricky to think properly.
Next time I need to work on thinking.

Post Card

In writing we have been learning to think about the writers point of view. we are reading the book "The Faraway Tree" by Enid Blyton in class. The book about a little girl called Connie whose mother is ill so she is sent to live with her mothers friend and her childrenJo,Bessie and Franny. The children show her the Faraway Tree and to begin with she doesn't belive them.

We have been talking about how Connie might have felt and what she would have said to her mother. We decided to write a post card from Connie to her mother,trying to think about what Connie would say.

I found it hard to type it all up.

I found it easy to think like Connie.

Next time i need to work on doing it faster.

Volume Challenge


For maths week, we have been learning about measurement.Yesterday we talked about volume.We learnt that to work out the volume of a shape you use length,with and height.Our challenge was to work in pairs and  use the unlink cubes to make as many different creations  as we could, with a volume of 8. I found it easy to build the creations. I found it tricky to decide which ones to build. Next time I need to work on deciding which shapes to do.
