Problems at school?

We are learning to determine the size of our problem and how to solve them.
Is our problem a big one? Or a small one? Do we need a teacher to help or are we old enough to sort out yourselves?
Are we trying to get someone else growled at, or are we trying to stop something that might get someone hurt? It's important to know, now you are old enough, what to do in what situation.

This week's Maths Vocabulary
This week's Maths Vocabulary
Value - In a number, a digit's value is the digit's worth in that number. The worth of 6 in 623 is 600. The number value applies even when there is more than one of the same digit in a number. For instance, in 5,453, the value of the first 5 is 5,000 and the second 5 is 50.
Strategy - a plan, a method or a way to solve a problem or reach an answer
Column - where you write number one on top of the other in a line. A column is up and down, not side to side.
Row - where you work from left to right or right to left, across the page not up and down.

Sizzling Starts
Sizzling Starts
The purpose of a Sizzling Start is to engage the reader and make them want to read more! Don't begin at the start of the day/holiday/weekend, when nothing is happening:
One day …
It was the start of the holidays …
On the weekend …
Start where the action is or at a moment of change when things get far more interesting, then backfill the who, what, where and why as the action unfolds.
Exemplars
1. Start with action
Five, four, three, two, ONE! The cameras were rolling and I was about to eat a cockroach.
2. Start at a moment of change
All was going well on the hike until the heat wave happened. I was hot and sweaty and dying for a swim. Then I saw the river. And the sign: Warning! Crocodiles.
3. Use humour
My goldfish, Jaws, loves his fishbowl. Only problem is – so does my cat,Kazoo!
4. Start with a sound
‘Buzzzzzz!’ The sound of my alarm clock echoed in my ears as I struggled to wake up. I sat straight up in my bed! This was my BIG day and I had to be on time.
5. Start with dialogue
‘It’s just a rat,’ I said, breathing hard.
‘Rats don’t growl,’ said Mike.
6. Ask a question
Ever wonder what happens when an elephant tries to blow out birthday candles?
7. Paint a word picture
The moon’s golden reflection shimmered across the glassy bay.
