This week in maths we have been carrying out investigations on 'number lines'. We have looked at number lines in real life ( tape measures, scales , rulers and thermometers) as well as number lines other schools have used. The children have then made some of their own number lines and have had a great variety of ideas from beanstalks to interactive number lines showing the 50s pattern. Next we will begin to look at how number lines help us to solve problems.
The children have begun to ask questions such as 'Why do we have number lines?' 'Why are some number lines in patterns?' 'Why are some numbers bigger than others?' 'Why do some of them not have numbers?'
In literacy we have agreed to make a class newspaper based upon what we have done in class since September. We will try and remember all the exciting things we have done at school and also celebrate our achievements and why we think we are so awesome.
This will be linked to this weeks homework, talking about and hopefully writing about why we think we are awesome.
We will also carry on with our science investigation on plants; comparing how plants grow I different conditions.
