It has been another great week for the Owls!

In maths, we have been multiplying and dividing by 5. Can you continue the pattern, counting in 5s?:

5 , 10, __ , __ , __ ,__ , __ , __ , __ , __ , __ , __ 

To divide, we have been grouping and sharing. Show someone what you can do:

We have also been doubling and halving this week! We have been spotting patterns to help us with doubling and halving big numbers (e.g., half of 4 = 2, so I know half of 40 = 20). Can you half and double each of the numbers below? Remember when we double we are multiplying by 2 and when we are finding half we are dividing by 2:

In English, we’ve had a busy week of discovery! To kick things off, the children became researchers, diving deep into the world of marsupials to help plan their reports. We then finished the week by turning our facts into incredible non-chronological reports. From kangaroos to koalas, the level of detail in their writing has been truly fantastic!  Can you tell someone at home someone of the amazing facts you found out?

In Topic, we have been exploring some of Australia’s most famous landmarks, including the Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree Rainforest, the Snowy Mountains, and the amazing Uluru!

 Can you tell someone at home which landmark was your favorite and share one interesting fact about it?
