Week 3 in BD Class

It has been a pretty crazy week in BD Class. We have had Maths Week this week and we have done some really cool challenges.

On Tuesday our challenge was to make the longest paper string from a piece of A5 paper. These were the top 5 paper strings. Harrison was the winner.
Mr D made a paper string that was 2m92cm long. Wow!
Here are our efforts!
As part of our work with Life Ed, we made our own VIP pictures on the iPads. We have a pretty awesome class!
This week we have been looking at the "st" blend. There are heaps of "st" words!

Whats Been Going On in BD Class? Weeks 1-2

There has a been a whole heap going on in BD Class over the past couple of weeks. We have had a lot of people getting their 50, 125 and 150 nights reading. We have also had people get syndicate awards for doing great work. Well done everyone.

We have been doing some great writing. It has been great to see people using their writing cards to help them write ideas in their writing. We are also getting better at using our hearing sounds to write letters in order in the words we don't know.
We have been lucky to go and see Harold in the Life Education caravan. We have been learning about being a V.I.P. That means we are a very important person. We also learnt about the things we really need to live.

We also got to see Harold again and show hime some of the great work we had been doing in class. It was lots of fun.
Today we had our first Maths Week challenge. We had to  guess how many tennis balls would fit into Mrs Harvey's clown pants. We guessed 75, but there were 176 that fit in! Wow!
