Fairy tales

 

This week we have been writing what is a fairy tale.We had to write what a fairy tale is and where to find one in a library.  When we were in the library it took us a while to find fairy tales as we looked in the fiction section.  They are actually in the non fiction section. Once we had found one we had to look at what made it a fairy tale.

I think that this was a fun activity and now I know what a fairy tale is. What is your favourite fairy tale?

Nessie Visualisation

This week in class we had to draw a drawing of what we thought Nessie the Loch ness Monster looks like. First we had to read a text which described it a little bit so that we could visualise in our heads what it might what it looks like. Also we are going to be learning about the Bermuda Triangle, UFOs and the Lost City of Atlantis. This was a really fun activity I hope you liked my drawing. What do you think Nessie looks like?

The One and Only Ivan Prediction Poem

WALT make predictions to help us understand what we read.

We got the words from the chapter headings in the chapters of the One and only Ivan book. Then we cut out the words that we thought was right for the poem. We haven't read the book yet so we had to guess what the book is about and write what we think about Ivan. My group thought that he was quite lonely.

Place value partitioning

This week in maths we have been learning to use place value partitioning to solve addition and subtraction problems.  This is an easy strategy to use.  Here is an example.
