It has been another busy week in Caterpillars! 🐛
On Monday, we were introduced to our 'Mystery Book' to kick start our new Power of Reading project. We looked carefully at an illustration in the book and made inferences about the character and where they could be:
"He is a dog."
“He could be an artist as artists wear hats like that.”
"It could be in London as there are lots of tall buildings.”
We then read the first nine pages to see what we could find out about this character:
"He is called Claude."
"He is a small, plump dog."
"His best friend is Sir Bobblysock."
"He lives with Mr and Mrs Shinyshoes."
From our knowledge of the character, we then wrote our own character profiles about Claude.
On Thursday, we looked again at our mystery book. We listened to a sound clip of a busy city and watched a short time lapse video of London to understand what it is like in a busy city. From this we wrote our own city poems and used the suffix -ing.
In maths, we have been looking at solving addition problems.
First, we learnt how to use a number line and count on to add two numbers. Then, we were faced with some missing number problems, which we solved using bar models.
We have also been busy with more science experiments. This time we thought about objects that are see-through. We learnt 3 new words: 'transparent', 'translucent' and 'opaque'. We had a fun quiz to match the object with its property.
