Basic facts

Today we joined with room 24 to learn how to take a basic facts test. We will be doing this test every Friday so it was good to practise with the experts. First we got our paper - we all started off on the CA level. Then when the teacher said start we had 1:30seconds to complete all the questions. Then we swapped papers with our buddy and buddy marked. Each week we will record our progress on a graph! 

Stay tuned for more information and homework ideas to help us with our basic facts. 

Buddy class fun

Today our buddy class organised tabloid games for us. We split into 6 groups and rotated around the 6 games! It was lots of fun! 

Next week we will be doing the same thing so must remember our hats! 

Making a plan

Today we had a look at the assembledge Art that Miss Blands niece made. We learned lots about what she liked, there were even some lollies!! Then we started planning our assembledge Art! We made a sketch and thought about what favourites we would like to bring in! 

Keep bringing in boxes and favourite items to put into our boxes.

This week our class has a special job of keeping our school rubbish free! We went around today and picked up so much rubbish!

Questions

In Reading this week the giraffes and zebras have been learning how to ask and answer questions about what they are reading! They had to pick up a question flag and ask a question beginning with the word in the flag. 

Our five question starters are;

What

Where

When 

Who

How
