busy week

Date: 7th Oct 2016 @ 11:13am

What a great week we have had in Q3. The children have really got involved in exploring the Stone Age, looking at theor homes and started to look at their way of life. A very popular area within the classroom is our reading cave. Some children have tried it out and given it the thumbs up (thanks Miss Gauld). It's a fabulous area to relax and lose yourself in a book.

Our Guided Reading sessions have focused on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with lots of work on the vocabulary used within the text. Each day the children explore the use of particular words in context. Lots of very interesting discussion has been generated from these parts of the Guided Reading.   

We have written stories about being sent back in time to the Stone Age and lots of thought has gone into the writing process throughouot the week. 

After several lessons exploring volcanoes, Megan bought in a model of one that she made at home. It is now proudlydisplayed within the classroom. 

Within part of our Maths Meetings times tables were introduced this week and we focused on the three times table. The children were shown a website called Hit The Button and each tried to beat each others time.
