This week Blue Class have been learning:

English

• We read the story ‘Maggie’s Chopsticks’ by Alan Woo.
• Before we finished reading the whole story, we predicted what we thought might happen at the end and wrote our own endings to the story.
• We looked at the use of similes in the story and practised using our own to describe and compare.
• We wrote our own stories about times when we practised and practised until we had achieved a goal.
• We wrote book reviews of the story, describing the plot and giving reasons for our opinions.

Maths

• We started to look at the process of division.
• We shared different amounts of objects into groups.
• We solved division number sentences by sharing.
• We discovered what would happen when we couldn’t divide equally, and used remainders to write our answers.

Topic

• We found out about life in China, and facts about the location and culture.
• We started getting ready for Christmas by beginning to make our school Christmas decorations!
• We enjoyed an afternoon of PE and games with Coach James.
