This week has been a very busy week for Team CB. We have spent time beginning to gather information to support in writing our travel guide to Spain. As a class we worked hard to develop our understanding of features of travel guides, before beginning to consider fact and opinions and how these play vital roles in persuasive writing. The whole team worked really hard to grasp the concept of writing an opinion and presenting it in the style of fact. They certainly had me convinced! Following this, we then began to plan out the way our information would be presented. Check back next week as we put pen to paper and fetch our fabulous reviews to life!
Meanwhile, in Maths this week we have been busy learning all their is to know about addition. We worked on developing our understanding of procedural variation through representing addition calculations in the form of a bar model. The children were using lots of apparatus to help them, including cuisenaires and the Ipad Manipulatives app to support their learning. They were fantastic in identifying which elements were parts and wholes. We used this knowledge later in the week too when we investigated addition and subtraction pyramids. All staff in Team CB were so impressed with how speedily the class recognised when they needed to add and when they needed to subtract to fill in the missing values. Well done Spectacular Space Cadets! Meanwhile, we participated in French Day this week throughout school. In Team CB we worked super hard to learn all about clothing and fashion. We began by investigating french colours, before using this to describe our clothing and appearance. The children were so engaged throughout the day and so proud of the work they had produced. It was lovely to see them so engaged and trying new things. The croissants were delicious also!! In another busy week, I am once again beaming with pride at the way our team continues to conduct themselves. I am so impressed. Keep up the hard work!!!
