Henry’s wish is my command!
There is a link here for homophones spelling games. My favourite is the bouncing anagrams. What’s yours?
This week’s Learn Its
The facts from the 8 x table that we’re finding most tricky to remember are:
7 x 8 = 56 8 x 8 = 64 9 x 8 = 72
but unfortunately, I don’t have any catchy jingles to help us lock them into our brains 😥
Can you make one up that we can use this week? To be effective, they need a good rhythm and not be too complicated. I think they’d work really well if they were to a tune that we already know. Harmonies and beat-boxing often help too 😎
Joking around with David!!!
On Monday David Lawrence Jones came to visit and present his books to us. We all really enjoyed it and would be happy to invite him back. We had a laugh!!! Then on Wednesday we had a chance to buy his books and the opportunity for a signed copy.
As mothering Sunday is approaching we have made awesome cards for our mums.We all think they look great!!!!!
At cool to learn we took the time to perfect our division skills and for once we had a full house 😉 Can you work out this sum : 3428 divided by 13 the first 5 to complete it will get a dojo point!!!

Coin Cards In Big Maths!
In Big Maths, we have looked at coin cards, which will help us for multiplication and division if we don’t know them! It is the same as a cheat sheet… Can you do the coin card for x23?
Raiding The Reading!
In Class 6, we have a poster named ‘Raiding The Reading’! We use it for when we are reading the Wind Singer. Currently, we have two powerful phrases on our poster: ‘ a dull bone-aching weariness’ and ‘ a shallow, dream-tossed sleep’! Can you use either of these in a sentence?
