Calculating Area
Today we were learning how to calculate the area of shapes by counting squares and half squares. We also learned how to use the term square centimetres.
Square Centimetres = cm2
As a challenge we drew our initials as shapes and calculated the area, some letters were very tricky!
Chilli Challenges!
Chilli Challenges!
We enjoy practising our numeracy skills with some spicy chilli challenges!
We got to choose our own level of challenge and can even try more than one.
We love showing off our knowledge and getting to "Explain our brain!" to the class when solving the calculations!
Marvellous Master Classes 😃

Reciprocal Teaching
Today we were learning to use the magnetic board to learn our spelling words. We took turns being the teacher to support and check our partner's work.
First we say our word out loud
Then we make our word and break it into its phonemes
Next we blend it and read it
Finally we write it from memory
