Our Week 17.9.21

It is Friday already! I can’t believe how quickly the past week has gone, it seems to have flown by! 

Over the past week we have been looking at the book ‘The Story Machine’ by Tom McLaughlin, we have really enjoyed exploring the book and finding out about what a typewriter is. 

If you want to listen and share the story at home, you can listen to the author Tom read it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXVqCCeCPAU (adults, please check the video first as there may be external comments or enabled links to other videos/ adverts etc.).

In maths we have been partitioning and exploring different ways we can make a number using different resources such as dienes (blocks made up of tens and ones) to physically form these numbers and partition them to form equations. For example, we explored how the number 64 has 6 tens and 4 ones but we could also partition this number into 4 tens, 2 tens and 4 ones. 

I am looking forward to next week and starting our new text ‘Here We Are’ and to share all our learning. I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
