15/10/10 What's Going On in BD Class?

It has been a bit of a funny day today. We kicked off with power writing then did our poem of the week. In maths the groups are learning some pretty tricky strategies.
The "Circles" were learning to make groups of ten when adding numbers together.

4+2+6 is the same as 10+2 which =12

The "Triangles" were doing some work on counting backwards to solve subtraction problems using bigger numbers.

23-4=__ (23 in our head->22,21,20,19)

These are some really good strategies. Mrs Stewart did some more procedural writing with us after morning tea. We had a go at making milo, then we had to write the instructions for it. 

After lunch we had production practise in the lovely sunshine. We started our new inquiry topic today. We brainstormed ideas about environments and had a go at grouping some of them.

Next week is a busy week so make sure that you all rest and have a great weekend.
