FIrst a quick reminder to ensure that you go through all the forms if you haven’t already. These can be found on the parent portal. These include the Responsible Use of Technology form, the Verification Form, and Off-Site Permission.
In Math, we have continued our patterning unit. Last week, we looked at growing and shrinking patterns. We have also been looking at a variety of patterns on hundreds charts, bar graphs and number lines. We have also been using number lines to help us understand and assist us with our addition and subtraction. The strategy of "jumping" on a number line to help break larger numbers into smaller portions is helpful for some. As such, we have started some skip counting this week.
In Language, we will be looking at a variety of words used to describe colours. For example, instead of using the word orange, the class was exploring additional ways to describe the shade of that colour (eg. pumpkin orange, apricot, marmalade, merigold). I will be posting some links on the workspace for the class to explore. We have also looked at ways to describe the colour (eg. bold, brilliant, deep).
In Science, we will be exploring Soils this week. There will be a pair of texts that we will be reading together on Wednesday.
In Visual Art this week, we will be exploring how to use colouring pencils to provide different shading techniques. This will likely be on Thursday of this week
