We then made equal groups of our own by drawing or using counters. Can you makes these equal groups at home?:
Two equal groups of 5.
Three equal groups of 2.
Five equal groups of 6.
We then learnt how to write repeated addition sentences to represent our equal groups. Show someone at home how to do this:

In English, we wrote our own journey tales using our plans from Friday. We thought about our own ideas for our introduction, build-up, problem, resolution and ending. Can you remember any of your ideas? Who was your main character? What did they find? Where did they go? Who did they meet? What went wrong? We then edited these using our writing toolkit. They should be super proud of their brilliant stories!
In topic, we used an atlas to name and locate Australia’s six states and two territories. Can you remember any using the map below?
