This term we are working on Multiplication and Division.
Jessica used arrays and Tegan used numicon to help answer questions. Jayden used part whole and found out that he needed more than two circles to find the answer if using repeated addition, but two if multiplying.

We have looked at how we need to be careful being consumers of media, through advertisements of food. Many of us chose to eat fast food because the adverts have catchy tunes and pictures that made us want them. We look at different ways to make healthy versions then took a vote. The outcome was healthy home made chicken nuggets and chips. Students sensibly and safely used knives to prepare the food and used correct food chopping boards for vegetables and raw meat to ensure we have followed food hygiene rules.
