We have learned this week just how lucky we are to be living just now and not during the Victorian times.  Children then did not have rights and were often put out to work instead of going to school.  Thankfully Queen Victoria’s Government passed some legislation (these are rules) to support children and stop them being sent down mines, and working as chimney sweeps.

In maths we have been learning about division and have been using thinking boards to help us come up with different strategies.

Liam – awesome because it helped us understand the times tables and division.

Sam – thumbs up because it helped me learn different strategies.

Ava – they helped me work out tricky maths problems.

We enjoyed our Big Balbardie Blether this morning which was all about our playground. We came up with lots of ways to make our playground better and are excited about this!

PATPALS is on Wednesday morning for any of you who can make it – don’t forget to return your opinion wheels!
