05/03/12 What's Going on in BD Class?

After a wild weekend it was good to be back to some nice sunny weather. Sophie was our Star of the Day today.

We kicked off the day with maths. We played "Beep" to practise our counting. Haylee was the winner. Then we got into our maths groups for the first time. Mr D taught the "Oblongs" group a game called "Rockets." We had to try and fill up the rocket by rolling the dice and making a number. Then we had to decide where on the rocket it should go. We had 10 goes to fill up the rocket.

We did some weekend recounts for writing today. We were trying to make sure we started off our stories in an interesting way.

This week we are looking at all the vowel combinations that make an "ee" sound. Today we looked at "e and magic-e" There aren't many words that have those letters in them.

After syndicate assembly we did a sorting activity for our topic. We got into groups and we had to give reasons for sorting our animals in that particular way.
