Maths
In Maths we have been working very hard with our Times Table Races and the children's scores have improved tremendously, with all children aiming to beat their best time on a daily basis. In our Place Value unit, we have continued with our learning about reading and writing numbers using the correct place value columns, ordering and comparing numbers using 6 digit figures, as well as rounding numbers up to 1,000,000! Phew, we have been very busy. Literacy Our reading this half term has linked well with our writing as our main focus is Ghost Stories. We are currently working on 'Scare at Shadow Fair', a Twinkl Original, focussing on vocabulary and retrieval skills. The vocabulary from the text has helped us with our own writing and we have been able to implement this into helping us write our own Spooky story. We have also been learning about expanded noun phrases, fronted adverbials as well as subordinate clauses and conjunctions so that we can implement these into our own writing.

Maths
We have been very busy in our Maths learning and are well underway with out timestable races. The children are practising every day and we are so proud of their achievements. It has been great to see the pride in their own learning, especially when they are beating their own time and achieving success. As part of our Maths learning we have been expanding our skills and our knowledge about Number Place Value as well the value of each digit. The children have been using manipulatives to show this as well as ordering and comparing numbers. Literacy In writing our main focus has been looking at Expanded Noun Phrases using adjectives, prepositions and modifying nouns. We have been trying to use these in our own writing to create a paragraph to describe a setting, using a spooky picture as a hook. The children have tried very hard to use diffferent synonyms in their learning so as to keep the audience's interest. Hello and welcome to the Team DB blog page. I would like to say a huge welcome back to the children of Team DB and their parents and carers.
