Maths, maths, maths!
We created our own anchor charts today… focusing on the skills we’ve been working really hard to grasp: four operations of fractions, % of amounts, multiplying and diving by 10,100,1000 and 4D Divide by 2D.
Discovering rainforest tribes

During academic crew, we critiques this fractions map and wondered how we can use tools like this at home to get smarter!
Mid week Wednesday
We’ve started reading The Vanishing Rainforest this week by Richard Platt.
We engaged with a ‘conscience alley’ to debate whether we agree with the ‘nabë’ planning on chopping down many of the rainforests trees. Many of us disagreed based on this being unfair for the tribe who live in the forest – no forest means no animals and no food for many people. Some children agreed as more trees could be planted… we listened well and tried to build on each other’s ideas.
This afternoon we practiced different forms of passing in PE. We now are more accurate in passing and aiming!
