Learning our times tables

Last week we brainstormed, Things I think are fabulous for learning my times tables.
Brooke brought in a place mat that she uses, Maia used flashcards, Sarah had flashcards and a music CD.

Remember to ask your friends if you forgot where to find some of the apps and computer games.

Fractions, Fractions, Fractions

Circle and Triangle girls have been learning to find a fraction of a set using multiplication and division.

Here is the word problem we started with today

We came up with different strategies to help us.

We also used this chart to help us solve different problems too.
Ms Loo and Lucy pretended they were going to go to Hell's Pizza to buy a Pepperoni pizza to share too!

Clementine came up with a great way for us to remember numerator and denominator (the down number)

We played these fraction games to wrap up the lesson.

Dear Future

As part of our current inquiry into 'How the World Works' the Winnies reading group have been reading a story titled, 'Dear Future' by Meredith Costain.

This story was about a new school project- a time capsule!

We decided to write letters to future generations of Dio girls and hide them in our own time capsule.

Unfortunately we cannot tell you where this secret spot is, Mischa hopes that it will be found in 100 years time.

Our class with Property Team Leader Mr Hughes

The time capsule is about to be covered up!
