Here comes the sun

This week in Numeracy we have been adding describing position by using words such as ‘above, below, beside, left and right’. We have also been describing direction by using words such as ‘forwards, backwards, up, down, left and right’. We have been talking about things that turn and make whole turns, half turns and quarter turns. Please ask us to show you our turns and how we can move left and right.
We have been using the Bee Bots as part of Numeracy this week. We created a short program to move it from one point to another. We recorded steps on whiteboards and then tested our steps to see if the Bee Bot moved as we’d expected and if not, why not?

In Literacy we have continued to use actions to help us remember the story of ‘The Gingerbread Man’. We drew story maps and changed the story to create our own version for example ‘The Chocolate Bunny’ and ‘The Gingerbread Penguin’. We have started to write an interesting story opening based on our version of The Gingerbread Man.
Have a wonderful two week break - don't eat too much chocolate!
