Overview
This week we have been learning the ‘ea’ spelling pattern. We have been making arrays to help us with multiplication in numeracy and have enjoyed learning about caring for our environment by reducing, reusing and recycling. We know it is Burn’s Day tomorrow and even recited one of his poems.
Parental Involvement

In maths we were learning how to make totals using different coins, we had a mild, spicy, hot challenge task to complete.
In Spelling we continued to work on our tricky words, the Word Wizards had a really interesting task, they had to make up a story using all 6 of their spelling words!

In Music, we listened to the Carnival of the Animals and had to guess which animal was being represented by the different instruments.
Sounds like an really interesting and fun week. Thanks for the updates.
