2 Minute Challenge

In class we do a 2 minute challenge.
A 2 minute challenge is when you get a sheet of times tables and Mrs R will time us for 2 minutes and we will try to fill out as many times tables as we can.

I think it is very fun and a great way to practice your times tables.

Clarice Bean


Today I read Clarice Bean Spells Trouble by Lauren Child. My favorite character is Clarice because she is smart and funny. My favorite part of the book so far is when Clarice said my friend is called Karl Wrenbury because then people think she is just as bad even if she tries to be good. Karl Wrenbury is the naughtiest kid in the school because he has a zingy thing inside him as Clarice puts it.


I think this is a great book to read.

I rate it 10/10.

Book Week


On Wednesday 26th August our school had a Book Week. The theme was Book safari. You could dress up as a jungle animal or your favorite book character. There were lots of jungle animals like Leopards, Lions and even a dinosaur. I dresses up as Judy Moody from the book, Judy Moody Goes to College. At the start of the day we had a parade to see every ones favorite characters. Everyone looked great. I had lots of fun.

The Bulge Around The Moon


For inquiry this term we are learning about the moon and tides.

To have high tide land has to match up with a bulge and that causes high tide, To have low tide land has to match up with a thin part of the bulge and that causes low tide.


I think the moon and the tides are very interesting.

Tide And Moon




In class this term we are learning about the moon and tide and how the moon affects the tides.


We have been put into groups and some groups are drawing the moon each night and some are recording the tides each night. I am recording the tides because I think it is interesting how the moon pulls the tides in and out.

Family Maths Challenge


For this weeks family maths challenge, my class had to follow directions to help Disney get the letters in the right pigeonholes.



This is the question. Walt Disney needs some help labeling his cast and crews pigeonholes. His secretary has given him directions.



I figured it out by following the directions it gave me. For Example: Goofy-2nd column 4th row.

I think it made it easy by saying the column and the row they were each in.
