Well Chloe woke up feeling poorly again today. There's so much going round at the moment. Courtney and Andrew have felt poorly too. So we had a late start today. We spent the morning doing maths - Chloe's favourite lesson. We're still looking at co ordinates. I found a co ordinates game. It's just a grid (with co ordinates on it) and numbers on the co ordinates. Then i wrote up some sums - 3 x 7 = ? And Chloe would have to find the answer and then write the correct co ordinate. Then she wrote her own sums for the answers on the sheet. It worked well and meant that she was doing more than just co ordinates. I also found a great worksheet with a tresure island on it. You had to find teh co ordinates for various places on the island - smugglers cave, blackbeards secret look out post etc. Chloe finished this worksheet and then made her own treasure map up.
In the afternoon, we worked on science topic classifying animals. We looked at how animals are split into orders, species, kingdoms etc, depending on what similarities they have and what differences they have. We discussed what makes birds - flying. So do all birds fly? What about penguins, are they birds.so what do they have in common? Wings, not flying. I love our little chats.
