We have been learning to combine our knowledge and skills of subtraction and applying number talk strategies to solve chilli word problems.
Everyone chose their level of chilli problems and then selected different number talk subtraction strategies to use. Everyone was challenged to try every strategy at least once.
We are missing a black Nike jacket. If anyone has taken home by mistake, can you please return it. Thank you.
We have been consolidating our knowledge and skills of subtraction number talks strategies. We chose chilli challenge cards to complete calculations using the different subtraction strategies.
We have been learning the forehand and backhand in tennis.
Lots of hand-eye co-ordination required by all!
Block 4 of homework will resume on Monday 23rd February for 5 weeks.

We had great fun using the knowledge we had learnt to create models of 3D shapes. It was tricky at times getting the sticks together, but everyone showed patience and perseverance. Well done!
We have been using Venn Diagram to sort 3D shapes by their properties. The class were then challenged to create their own criteria to sort the shapes by.
With our knowledge of 2D shape, we have been exploring tessellation.
We created our own tessellation patterns by hand and then used Shapes within Word to create tessellations too!
We used the shape tool, the fill tool and learnt the keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste.
We have been investigating 2D shapes including more complex shapes such as rhombus, parallelogram, octagon. We created posters explaining the properties of these shapes including the number of sides and the number of vertices.
This week in Number Talks, we have been revising all the different addition strategies we have learnt. We selected a chilli challenge calculation and then completed the addition calculation using 4 different strategies – adding in chunks, vertical calculations, place value and compensation.
We had great discussion about which strategy we preferred. We also recognised that sometimes our favourite strategy might not always be the quickest or most efficient. Great work, P4/5!
