Happy Friday!

We made it through one of our busiest week's of the year. Today we had our spelling quiz, and I am sorry to say, most people still were unable to correctly spell 'field'.  :( 

We're going to talk next week and once again talk about the difference between effective practice rather than just word copying. 

We worked on a special Mother's Day activity which I hope you will enjoy seeing on Sunday!

The students explored the wide range of fraction materials available in our classroom, and used these to show equivalent fractions. We went outside for a lap around the field and some time on the big playground.

And, we ended our day with Music. 

Next week promises to be almost as fun as this one was, as we'll have more Netball sessions, more rock experiments, and we'll even start learning about decimals. 

For the month of May, the table groups of Room 4 are collaborating to try to earn 200+ points. If we do, we will earn le grand prix - a French party! So on that note, here's the blog homework for the weekend:

BLOG HOMEWORK: (+2 Points)

Imagine you are super hungry. You order your favourite pizza in the world, but sadly, you have to share it. Would you rather have...

a) 5/9 of the pizza?

b) 1/2 of the pizza?

c) 11/18 of the pizza?

**Hint: Try representing each fraction with the same denominator... And watch the video!

Have a nice weekend,

Zac
