Here you have the song that we are practising in class. We will act out it next Thursday!

Adjectives, nouns and verbs!

Nouns are words to refer to people, animals, things and places. For instance: a farmer, a cow, a pencil and a cinema.

Listen to this song:

An adjective is the word that describes a noun. For example: big, tall, tiny, beautiful and all the colours.

A verb is the main part of a sentece. It is an action or a state of being. For example:

• My mum runs a lot. 
• He cooks soup every Monday.
• My friends don't like karate.
• His sister doesn't go to the trip.
• He is tall and strong.

Fables

Ordinal numbers are used to order in a list, they tell the position in a list. 

For example: to give instructions, to classify the participants in a competition, to talk about the flats in a building, to say the date...

*Pay attention to the way we write the 9th: NINTH. You usually write it wrong.

VIDEO:

Play with odd and even numbers

In Maths we are learning the concept: odd number and even number.

We know that if a number can be broken into two EQUAL parts it is EVEN.

If not, it is odd.

For instance, number 6 can be divided into 3+3 (equal parts, so it is even).

but, number 9 can be break into 4+5 or 5+4, they are NOT EQUAL, so it is ODD.

**When you have a two digit number, such as 38. We focus on the last number which is 8 to know if it is odd or even. 38 is an even number because it finishes with 8.

Here you have a game to play online. Click on the image or the link below.

Being safe...on the road

In Social Science we are working and learning about road safety. I want to remind you these 4 vital concepts to keep in mind:

1- TRAFFIC LIGHTS

They ensure that means of transports and pedestrians move as safely as possible.

2- ZEBRA CROSSING

 It is useful to cross the roads safely. They look like the stripes of a zebra animal.

3- SEATBELT

It is a device designed to avoid pain in case of having an accident.

You should wear it always as shown in the following photo:

4- HELMET

It protects our head when riding a bike.

Are you a good citizen? Do you keep safe on the road? Do you use these 4 tools?

We will talk about it next day at Science class!

Calligrams. Workshop
