This week we have had a very busy first week back after enjoying our October week.<\/p>\n

We started Coraline which is our new class novel, and wrote a book review on Kensuke’s Kingdom, as well as some new recount writing.<\/p>\n

During one of our maths lessons we used different resources to practise multiplication and division.<\/p>\n

Alesha and Lewis are\u00a0 making arrays!<\/p>\n

” It was really fun” – Morgan\u00a0 ” I liked moving round the different tables and trying new things” – Ahmed<\/p>\n

On Friday we read Gullrock Bay and practised our ‘during reading’ strategies.<\/p>\n

“We know to ask ourselves questions during reading to make us better readers” – Lewis<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In pairs we found words we didn’t understand and used different strategies to work out the meaning.
\nSome strategies are: breaking the word up, reading on and reading back, re-reading the word, and using a dictionary.<\/p>\n
