Happy Friday, everyone! I hope everyone has been having a lovely week. Here is what the class have been up to this week.
In Maths, we have continued looking at place value, finding numbers on number lines, comparing numbers and finding one, ten and hundred more or less. Even though we found the number lines quite challenging, we were resilient and kept working hard!
In Literacy, we have continued to look at Katherine Johnson’s life and how she finally made it to work in NASA! We have been learning lots of vocabulary to describe Katherine and her emotions on her rollercoaster journey to becoming a human computer. We are so excited to read what happens next! Also, we wrote some amazing diary entries from the perspective of Katherine’s Dad, who was debating moving towns so his daughter could attend high school. I was so impressed with their vocabulary and sentence structures.
In IPC, we have been continuing our topic of brain metacognition and also looking at how to solve conflicts using ‘I feel’ rather than ‘you’ statements. We also looked at how our neurons grow in our brain and how we need to challenge our brain to grow these neurons more and more! Furthermore, we looked at the worry emotion and how we can calm ourselves and help someone who is worrying or anxious. So, we made mini windmills to practise our calm breathing and tried out the different sensory tools in the calm corner! Our IPC Brain Metacognition topic will be coming to an end next week, so I’m excited to start our new topic with the students.
Once again, it has been another great week in our classroom! Have a lovely weekend!
