Today in math we explored the language of location and investigated how to follow directions. As a class, we focused on the terms:
Above
Below
Behind
In front of…
To the right of…
To the left of…
Following our language investigation, we were challenged to create a picture by following Miss Dowsett’s instructions. Everyone did a fantastic job at listening and following the directions given. Please see below some examples of our work:
Congratulations to Vedika and Agamjot for reading for 75 nights, Paris for reading for 100 nights and Oliver for reading for 200 nights! Well done, amazing effort to all!
In Writer’s Workshop this morning we began looking at Information Texts!
The children were asked to explore a range of information texts and investigate the special features in them. We then had a discussion to unpack our findings, which included:
‘They are information books. They tell us information about things’ – Will
‘There’s an index, a glossary and contents page’ – Ayan
‘There’s facts’ – Chase
‘There’s labels’ – Raavi
‘There’s lots of pictures’ – Eleazar
See photos of us exploring our information texts below:

It’s TIME for your turn!
Using any materials you have a home (a paper plate, cardboard, pencils, texts, etc.) make your own clock. Write the numbers from 1 to 12 on your clock. Create a large and small clock hand. Write the word minute on the large hand and the word hour on the small hand. Miss Dowsett used a split pin to hold the two clock hands together. We can give you one when we return to school or you can use any materials that you have at home. We can’t wait to see your own home-made clocks!
