Xtramath

This week we have been trying out Xtramath.
It is a free on-line tool to help us learn our addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts. We want to practise every day and the program targets the next facts we need to learn.

The children brought home their own passwords today on a flyer, please help them to login the first time from home. Use the Enroll tag as it will link them to their class account.
Parents please watch the videos (indicated on the flyer).
Here is the link, it is also added to the sidebar.

Welcome Back

Welcome back to Term 4. Sadly we are 1 person light as Lara left us at the end of last term. She has moved house with her family and will be going to Waterloo School.
As always Term 4 is extremely busy building up to the end of our year in Room 1.
Our writing focus will be on Narrative - telling stories. We will be thinking about who will be reading our stories and exploring different ways to publish our work. What a wonderful way to start with a visit to the New Dowse to see the Lynley Dodd exhibition.
In Reading we are working hard on using our comprehension strategies to explain what we know and understand about what we have read.
For Maths we will be revisiting Addition and Subtraction and then exploring geometry in the second part of the term. We are working hard on learning our basic facts (more to come!).
We have a Technology focus in our topic work. Room 1 and 4 will be exploring milk. Where it comes from and what it is used for.

Have a great term - I'm looking forward to a lot of great learning opportunities.
