Excitable Edgar!

Today, we watched the new John Lewis advert which features Excitable Edgar. We discussed our initial thoughts of the advert and we had some really great ideas. Edgar doesn’t mean to cause any harm but when he is experiencing things for the first time he can’t help but get excited. Unfortunately when he gets excited, he breathes fire and it doesn’t always end well. 

We picked out key features of Edgar that we could describe and WOW- I was blown away with our amazing word choices. Share your descriptions with someone at home.

I have to say I am very impressed with the difference between our vocabulary and the way we use words since we have really focused in on it the last few weeks. It is truly impressive.

We spent the afternoon drawing our interpretation of Edgar with the main intentions being on proportions and texture to create an illusion. Share with someone at home how we focused on getting the right proportions (size) and what we did to create texture. Looking forward to the finished pieces.

This week in Numeracy, we  finished off using jump strategies and moved onto equal adjustments- ask your child to demonstrate this new strategy to you. We will be doing this for one more day on Monday before looking at the standard written method. We will then  begin assessments on multiplication and division.

Spelling tests as a whole went well this week but continue to practise these over the weekend as still some confusion with which e to use (ee or ea). 

Can anyone read a book over the long weekend and bring it in on Monday to fill up our wall and inspire others?

Enjoy your long weekend and we will see you all on Monday.
