2nd - 6th February
In maths we have been practising mental methods of addition and subtraction, including adding a series of numbers mentally and also interpreting number sentences which include brackets to control the order of operations.
Our work on The Highwayman has involved investigating the meaning of some of the vocabulary used in the poem and thinking about the poetic features introduced by Alfred Noyes. We also tracked the involvement of each of the main characters through the story and discussed a video interpretation. The focus for our comprehension activities this week was making inferences about the characters actions and motives. This week we also did a reading test.
On Monday afternoon we started our Aboriginal stick paintings. This was a time consuming activity and required another extended session on Friday before most of us had finished.
