SNAPSHOT OF WHAT 1/2 OC HAVE BEEN

WORKING ON

THE STORY OF BARTIMAEUS

Bartimaeus was a blind man who could not

work. He had to beg for his food and

shelter.

One day, he had heard that Jesus was coming to town. He truly believed in and loved Jesus very

much.

There were always so many people around Jesus as everyone wanted to hear what he wanted to say.

Bartimaeus called out to Jesus,“Jesus, can you hear me? Please give me my sight so that I can

see!”

Jesus said, “Of course I will. You believe in God and have shown so much faith. Stand up and go and see the world.”

Bartimaeus was so happy he shouted for joy, “Thankyou Jesus!”

In Maths we have been learning about…

3D SHAPES

We made some 3D shapes using matchsticks and blu-tack. It was fun!

3D shapes are solid or hollow.

They have 3 dimensions known as length, width and height.

Some 3D shapes are cubes, cones, spheres, cylinders and pyramids.

An ice-cream cone, a party hat and the tip of a pencil are examples of a cone.

A dice and an ice cube or even some blocks are known as cubes.A coke can, a can of soup and a peanut butter jar are examples of a

cylinder.

A baseball, marbles and a basketball are called spheres.

A paperweight and an Egyptian pyramid are examples of a pyramid.

MONEY MATTERSWe have been learning about Money in Number………

We have been learning about money and how important it is to budget properly.

We went shopping in our classroom and we were given some food

catalogues and an amount of money to spend.

Each group chose items to buy and we used a calculator to work out how much money we spent. We have also learnt we can make different amounts of money using different coins.
