Measurement

It was a hard day at the office today, working outside with all those beautiful deciduous trees glowing in the morning sun!
We are studying measurement in maths this term and we went outside on a scavenger hunt, looking for things of varying lengths.
It was pretty hard to drag ourselves back in to class!

'Home' writing

After reading the story 'Quaky Cat' we decided to copy one of the strategies that the writer used.
On the last page she repeats the phrase 'home is' to make the story interesing.
We are learning strategies to make our stories more interesting and we thought this would be a great one to try and copy.
