Spelling test  being sent home today . Room 3 has done a greta job on the spelling test last week.Keep up the good work :) 

Math: 

                We have started working  on "Algebraic " understating of the whole number operations. Fro example , m+ 5=8 , x*4=8. Ask me what strategies you can use to figure out the missing number in the equation? One of the strategies we have learnt is to reverse the operation to get the answer in a quicker and efficient manner e.g m+5=8 . You can subtract 5 from 8 to get the difference 3. 

Science:

                            Today , we worked on learning about "Wheel and Axle". Ask me to give you examples of  wheels and axles from daily life. We will be building a moving object next week using wheels .Please collect 4 bottle caps or buttons of the same size to attach to the axles. The rest of the materials will be provided by the teacher.
