The children have settled very well into the new school year. They are taking on board how important the 5 R's for lifelong learning are and have made a very good start in applying them to their own learning journey. In Math's we have developed our understanding of how working to a system and looking for pattern can help with addition and subtraction of 5-digit numbers and understanding place value. Our Literacy focus has been on recounts and developing the children's ability to self and peer edit their own work. We will be continuing both of these focuses next week along with our work on timelines and branching data bases in our topic work.
