Maths Division Week
We have been starting division with three digit numbers its a wee bit tricky but were getting the hang of it. We are dividing by 10, 100, and 1000. some tasks we have been doing match attack division. For this we played in pairs and had to work out division sums against the football players. we took part in maths stations to do with dividing and multiplying y 10, 100 and 1000.
In big maths we have been partitioning two decimal place numbers for example 4.9 so the four would be four and the nine is zero point nine witch makes it 4 and 0.9 have a look at the power point of our work.

Maths Week!
This week has been Maths week and as a school we have been focusing on pattern. We have had a very buys, full week making sure we are doing lots of pattern activities.
We used our novel in Literacy to place main events into a sequence. We then looked at number sequences in maths for example- 2,4,6,8 is going up in 2’s. We also learned square numbers which means multiplying the number by itself. 4 squared is then (4×4) which is 16.
We also created Artwork to do with pattern. We created Escher artwork which is the repetition of fish and we then coloured these in pattern we wanted. In groups we also created animals which have a pattern. For example a zebra!
We have been really busy learning and creating our own patterns also.
Violet- I liked challenging myself on all new aspects of maths.
Aaraa- I liked creating the fish patterns.
Alfie- I liked taking part in pattern art.
Craig- I liked creating my own patterns with the time table squares.
Jenna- I liked the maths colour in patterns to see how this would end up.
Our hard work
P.E
in PE we have a basketball coach called Adam. He has worked with us for three weeks and we learn how to shoot in a basket it was hard but we had to concentrate. We were put in different teams and played against each other. It was fun playing basketball by the rules!
