Writing

 Another thing we did for writing this week was a mini beast observation. First, you had to go out into your backyard and find a mini beast, then you had to bring it inside and describe it. I chose to describe: a Slater.

Here is my work.

Maths

 This week one thing we have been  learning in maths is how to write expanded numbers. Another way of saying this is ‘expanded form’ or ‘expanded notation’. They all mean the same thing. It’s like you have to break the numbers up into their place value parts and then put + symbols in between them. Example: 

7239 =7000+200+30+9.

Here is my work.

Art

Because we were using ‘Insects’ as a topic this week for reading and writing we created some works of art based on insects also. We had to make them out of any materials we could find at home. I chose to use: a craft box.

Here is a photo of my creation:

  

 

Play,Make,Create

 In Week 3 of Term 3, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation.  This week Mrs Craig Read the book: the smartest Giant in Town by Julia Donaldson.

  It was about being kind.

 I chose to create something to give to someone kind. Here is my work:
