DAILY MATHS CHALLENGE

In our daily challenge we have sometimes been having difficulty in naming the shapes each day. On the Maths Links, on the right hand side of the blog, I have attached a great link that explains the 2D shapes we are likely to see. You can also find information on 3D shapes as well.

GREAT WAY TO COMPLETE A BOOK REPORT

Today in class the Year 4's are reading a great book called Paper Bag Princess, as part of our puberty lessons. The ideas in the book however are in our everyday society, including our class. This person has shown a novel way of doing a book report on this book. Later on this year we may look at doing similar reports on simple, but meaningful children's stories. Start thinking of some stories with special messages in them that may be good for a report. Prezi is free software you can find online.
