Week 3 learning

Maths 

In maths this week we have been looking at word problems. We have been learning how to look for the important information in order to solve different problems.

The children have to:

• Read the problem
• Underline the numbers and any key words
• Find the numbers on the hundred square and solve the calculation 
• Write down the question and answer in full 
• Check their work 

Next week, the children will continue to focus on using the hundred square to add and subtract 2 digit numbers. They must remember to jump down when adding tens and forward when adding ones. When subtraction, they must remember to jump up when taking away tens and backwards when subtracting ones.

Key Vocabulary: hundred square, jump up, jump down, jump across, jump backwards, tens, ones

Science 

This week we were identifying common garden flowers. We went on a hunt around the school and the children found lots of different plants. We then went back to the classroom and using our plant identifier app, we found out what they were called, some interesting facts about each one and recorded them in our books. 

Next week we will be looking at what plants need to survive.

Key vocabulary- air, oxygen, water, rain, soil, sun, roots, stem, petals

Outside

This week in the outside area, the children decided to collect lots of stones. After they had a bucket full they wanted to decorate them. So we got the pains and paint brushes out and the children got creative by carefully painting pictures and patterns on each stone. 

 

Topic

This week we went to Lidl to buy our ingredients for cake making next week. The children loved it! They got to choose all of their own decorations and pay for it using the self-service till.

Next week we will be making the cakes. We are going to be focusing on measuring ingredients.

Key Vocabulary: grams, flour, eggs, sugar, measure, pour, mix, whish, beat, bake
