Wow! What an amazing first week back it has been! The launch day was a huge success and all the children loved learning about some different countries from around the world.
In literacy this week we have started work on our new text 'Arthur and the Golden Rope' which has been very exciting. We discussed what we thought the story might be about from clues in the endpapers as well as writing a letter to Professor Brownstone asking to be allowed to visit his vault of artefacts. Fingers crossed we get a reply! We also looked at how important books are as we learned that one of Professor Brownstone's most prized possessions were his books.
The maths focus for this week has been on pictograms. We recalled how to read a pictorgram accurately, remembering to check the key carefully. We used the information found in each pictogram to answer questions regarding the information. Finally, we made our own pictograms!
We have really enjoyed taking our topic focus from the text we are reading and have begun learning about Iceland, which is where we think the story is set. As well as this we started to design the artefacts from Professor Brownstone's vault.
It's been a jam packed week and we are looking forward to seeing where our learning journey takes us next week!
