This week has been an exciting week at Crookfur primary.

In math the white has been doing patterns and relationships. The orange have been continuing time but moved onto time durations. The yellow have started co-ordinates.

In literacy we have done a selection of different subjects on spelling, comprehension and writing. In writing we were given a story starter called planet Delta and we had to continue it.

We have started a new topic called ‘Bands on Tour’. We got ourselves into groups and throughout the topic we have done all our work with them. Our first activity was to create a band; we needed to name our band, give a description of each band member and create a scrap book to record all our band information.  Then we developed our map reading skills.  We each had maps of Europe.  We discussed common themes that the map had and noticed that the capital cities were highlighted in bold writing.  We then used the maps to decide which 12 cities around Europe we would visit on our tout.  Next, we made a note of the order we would visit the cities in and then used the internet to research how long it would take to travel from city to city and what distance is between each city.  Using this information we worked out an itinerary for our 24 day tour.  We have also begun budgeting for the tour.  We need to budget for petrol, transport, accommodation, equipment, clothing and food.
