Our maths lesson today.

We are learning all about co-ordinates, directions, NESW, position etc. Miss Edwards made a treasure hunt around the school. She gave us a map of the school and a set of co-ordinates. We had to locate the co-ordinate on the map and then go to that location to find a clue. We had 12 clues to find. At each co-ordinate there was a letter. We had to write the letters down. Once we had all 12 we came back to the classroom where we tried to work out what word all the letters made. The answer was, 'Charlie Small'. This is the name of the boy in the adventure story we are reading.
Earlier in the day we had been working on 'proper nouns' so when we saw the capital letters that would have given us a clue that we were looking for a name of a person or a place.
Although Waima and Neve got back to the class first it was Elin and Tauryn who worked out the word first. They won the treasure box.
Well done to all of room 20 - you did really well. You certainly got lots of exercise today. Did you enjoy it?

Some of the children's fire reports

In writing we have been concentrating on writing reports about what we have learnt in our topic work. We wrote the first part of the report together, which was the introduction. We then brainstormed what we knew about keeping safe around fire and also what to do if we were in a house that was on fire.

We then wrote our own sentences with our own knowledge. We have since written or typed these up neatly - please come into the classroom to see them.

Here are just a few of the reports. The first two children read out our introduction, the following children read from 'keeing ourselves safe'.

Please leave your children comments.

Thanks

Hamish's fire report

FIRE
Fire can dangerous; you should never play with matches or lighters however it can be very useful in heating our homes, cooking our food, giving us light and even lighting our birthday candles.
Keeping yourself safe:
Matches and lighters are tools for adults. Don’t play ball games around BBQ .You should always have a fire guards around your fire place if you don’t you should buy one. Make sure you have working smoke alarms in all your rooms except the kitchen and bathroom. What to do if your house is on fire:
If you know there is a fire YOU SHOULD GET DOWN GET LOW GET OUT FAST. Never go back inside. Yell fire, fire, fire. If you can, try to shut the door on your way out. Go to your safe meeting place. Try to grab a phone. IF YOU CAN CALL 111.

Aidan's fire report

FIRE
Fire can be dangerous you should never play with matches or lighters however it can be very useful in heating our homes cooking our food giving us light and even lighting our birthday candles.
Keeping yourself safe:
Don’t use matches because they can burn right down to your fingers. Don’t play in the kitchen when things are cooking. Make sure you have working smoke alarms in every room except kitchens and bathrooms. Put a fire guard near an open fire.
What to do when your house is on fire:
Get down, get low, and get out fast. Shut the door before you leave. When you are out shout FIRE,FIRE,FIRE and go to your safe meeting place. Then call 111 and wait. Don’t go back in the house.

Maths this week

Maths
WALT: give and follow directions using North, South, East and West. Draw and follow a path to show a route followed.
First we read the book Hanzel and Grettel. Then we discussed the various routes the children had taken in the story. First they were taken into the woods by their father. He left them there but they found their way home (route A). Again the father took the children back into the woods and left them there (route B). This time they could not find their way back, but they did manage to find a gingerbread house. They stayed there with the wicked witch for a while then managed to escape back home (route C).
On a grid the children drew their own version of the story and the routes taken. In their maths books they wrote down the route by using NESW directions. For example, Route A was: 4S, 3E, 5W, 2S, 3N, 2W.
The children checked each other’s maps by following the instructions from the maths books.
