Judit
and Sara focused this week on using fractions. We looked together at using
fractions of a whole. Sara had to work out a fraction of a hundred and convert
the fraction into a decimal. She solved the patterns and rules. Judit worked on
converting denominators of the fraction to find the common multiple, she
learned that what she multiplied with the denominator she had to multiply with
the numerator also. Then she was ready to add fraction amounts together. She
was able to find fraction pairs to make a total of one.
The
rest of the week in maths the girls learned fractions in context of
measurement. They played a matching game with different measurements to score
points. They discovered that ½ a meter is the same as 50 centimeters. They were
then able to transfer these ideas into answering questions based on real life
problems with measurement and fractions. Jordi had learned to count in units of
measure before using a ruler. He also counted down from ten in some jumping
games.
The
girls had a focus in looking at true and false questions based on France. They
answered the questions then skimmed and scanned the text to check if they were
correct with their decisions. In their grammar work, Judit had looked at
rearranging sentences for better effect and Sara wrote a paragraph in the third
person using character names and the pronouns he, she, it and they. They both
tried recognising sentences that are active and passive and noticing how a
sentence can be rearranged in the active and passive voice.
Jordi
played some word /sound recognition games. He is developing the patience and
the ability to concentrate on the initial sound of the words and check through
the word to find out if it was the word I chose for him. He was able to read
the book ‘Sid did it’ by using his sounding skills and recognised some
repetition with the words in the text. He was able to tell me in his own words
what was happening in the story and explained his views about the actions and
choices of the book characters.
