The focus of Term 2 Inquiry was Technology, specifically building and structures. Using the Three Little Pigs story, we discussed animal structures and why we thought it was important for animals to have good houses. We then visited Ambury Farm. Afterwards, we looked at pictures of the animal houses we saw there. We talked about what animals needed in their houses and what made a good animal house. Here is the Room 4 thinking around this: Using the children's ideas for what a good animal house needed, we then posed a building challenge: The children were so creative in building their structures!
Word Rumble can be a fun way to practice spelling and build fluency in writing. In class, children use a whiteboard and whiteboard pen but they can use any writing materials (and I mean any - get creative!). If you're working together, you can facilitate by showing each slide for 5-10 seconds while the children write. At first you might allow longer, eventually you can see how quickly they can write the words. At each slide, the child should say the word, then write the word, saying the word as they write it. Alternatively, it could be an independent activity. The children move to the next slide when they have finished writing the word. Below are sets A-E. "Let's get ready to rumble!"
We've been learning about fractions! Watch the slideshow below to see how we put our knowledge of halves and quarters into practice to cut, spread jam or butter, and eat our pikelets. * Pause on Slide 3 to watch video
