This term we have been focusing on multiplication and what it means! Check out our work so far on understanding multiplication as groups of objects!
We understand that 7 times 5 or 7x5 means the same as 7 GROUPS of 5.
Dora solved problems by using repeated addition as one way and we can also use our doubling knowledge to help us think more deeply and use our multiplication knowledge! We have come a long way since the beginning of term and we are very proud of ourselves!
Watch our quick video from our maths lesson today and see if our explanation can help you to understand!

Reading Rejiggle
This term our reading has really taken off - we have become more confident using reading strategies and now we can do more than just decode the words!
We can skim to find information, sound out tricky words, use excellent expression, use our prior knowledge to help us understand a text, summarise AND more! Now that we can use so many different skills, we've had a change around in our reading groups. We've kept the same names of the groups (Elephants, Leopards, Lions and Giraffes) but the some of the people and level of reading has changed!
A HUGE well done to everyone who has worked hard, read their book every night at home and practiced at school - you have all improved and become better than before!
Here's a list of the new reading groups :)
Elephants - Level 21 reading Gold - Tyra and Jazer.
Leopards - Level 22 reading Gold- Frank, Anthony, Limiteti and Alicia.
Lions - Level 23 reading Silver - Peni, Guinevere, Agueer, Nowar, Tristan and Kotipi.
Giraffes - Level 25 reading Emerald - Taniela, Riiana, Jessica, Leanah and Dora.
