Subtraction and Space 10.03.17

This week in Maths we have been learning about subtraction. "Subtraction means to take away and when we subtract the total gets smaller." We sang 'ten little speckled frogs' and 'There were 10 in the bed' and practised taking different numbers away from 10. We used our fingers to find the answer and practised counting back on a number line. We all had a go at writing number sentence using the subtraction and equals signs. 

We have also been finding out about Space. We enjoyed sharing our home learning and telling each other all the things we had found out. We looked at a PowerPoint about the solar system and had a go at writing a fact. "A fact is a short piece of information." In welcome we painted the planets in order and wrote their initial sounds to label them. We also learnt a rhyme to help us remember the order. 

In P.E. we made up a teddy bears picnic dance. We thought about how a teddy bear would move and what they might do when they get to the picnic. We worked with a partner and created a sequence of movements. 

This weeks Learning Owl is Benedict. He has been chosen for really persevering with his writing. Super work Benedict, we hope you have a great weekend with Hootie. 

We will be continuing with subtraction next week so for home learning we would like you to sing number songs and practise taking away.
