The Snail and the Whale

This week we have been looking at the book The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson. We learnt about what a setting was and what a caption was and created our own settings and captions for the story. We also wrote the story in our own words remembering what features we needed to use. In Numeracy we have been learning about doubles, near doubles and number facts. We thought about which method we needed to work out which sum. We have also been working on how to solve word problems.

This week we started practising our Christmas play and are all excited about our parts. Children who have speaking parts have taken a script home to learn their words. Please could this script be kept in their bookbags as we will be using them most days. You should also have received a letter with costume details. Homework for Numeracy and Literacy has also been sent home this week and is due Wednesday.

I am out on a course on Monday so 2M will be covered by Mrs Quinn.

Have a good weekend, enjoy learning your lines!

Mr. Merchant and 2M
