This week in p5a we have continued with our addition and subtraction strategies, focussing on using the algorithm. On Thursday we welcomed parents in to our class to showcase our different maths strategies.  In writing this week we have been working on descriptive settings and using our senses, adjectives and figurative language to uplevel these. We have also begun work on our new reading books and have been able to find and use information from the text and apply our reading strategies. We have been extending our reading skills through a variety of activities with our new books.  We have continued to learn about the Titanic through our IDL time, and have also enjoyed creating some Halloween themes board games this week. During Paths lesson we have been exploring Problem Solving Skills.
