LITERACY

We have been writing limericks in literacy this week. The students have been working on receiving, providing and applying feedback from their peers. They have produced some fantastic poems and have refined their revision skills. 

Alana:

I know a hairdresser who's funky and cool 

She even does hair in a swimming pool

You might think this is funny

Doing hair in the dunny

You can see she doesn't follow the rules 

Micah:

There was a red dragon who was really very cool

 But people thought he was a really dumb fool

 He was really smart 

And  good at art

He had one rule, that was to be really cool. 

Molly:

There once was a nice dude named Bob 

Who really liked to sob

He thought he was cool 

So he swam in a pool

He really liked eating fresh corn on the cob 

Milan:

There once was a crazy pilot from Japan 

Who rode his plane while cooking with his pan 

His recipe ,he read

While cooking his bread

His passengers jumped out to avoid the crazy man 

Ruby

I once knew a tiger who was a sous chef 

But he was always so awfully deaf 

He tripped on a fork 

And swallowed a cork 

Then he saw a glowing angel called Steph

Leo 

There once was an axolotl who lived in a bottle 

He always wanted a big throttle 

His bottle was little 

So he went to Kiddle 

Because he really needed to use a pottle 

Javea:

A clever clown that's right side up

Went to the pound and got a pup 

He made the best choice

But the floor was too moist 

And they both ended up needing a drink from a cup

MATHS

We have been focussing on developing the students multiplication strategies. It is important that all students have strong mental and written strategies to solve problems involving multiplication up to 10 x 10. Once they have developed these skills they will then be able to solve any multiplication problem that they receive. We have been developing these by playing games such as tic tac toe and multiplication madness. These are fun and easy games the students can even play at home!
