My Metamorphosis Writing
Yet another thing we did for writing this week was to imagine that we had undergone metamorphosis.
We had to pretend we had woken up one morning and discovered we had changed. It would be like going to sleep as a caterpillar and waking up as a butterfly. We had to write about what our new body was like and what we could do. I chose to wake up as a bee.
Here is my work.
Thursday Maths
This week one thing we have been learning in maths is how to write expanded numbers. Another way of saying this is ‘expanded form’ or ‘expanded notation’. They all mean the same thing. It’s like you have to break the numbers up into their place value parts and then put + symbols in between them. Example:
7239 =7000+200+30+9.
Here is my work.
Collage Insect Art
Because we were using ‘Insects’ as a topic this week for reading and writing we created some works of art based on insects also. We had to make them out of any materials we could find at home. I chose to use do mine on paper and used magazines, paper, pencil and pen for my art.
Here is a photo of my creation:
