Hi 4MM,

I have been on the internet and found this great table game.  It is great for revising your tables. Remember to choose a table that you need to really practise, perhaps x7 and x8, as these are the ones we have been learning this term and have a go at being timed. This would enable you to see whether you are AUTOMATIC at these.

MULTIPLICATION GAME

How did you go?

• Which tables did you find easiest?
• Which tables were you ‘timed out’?
• What strategies did you use to make learning the tables easier?
• Did you find this practise useful?

Recently we have been reading “The Rabbits” as well as looking at the pictures that are as powerful as the text itself. This book aims to promote cultural awareness and a sense of caring for the natural world. The story tells of the effects of man on his environment and how changes have taken place over time, in Australia.

I invite you to comment on this book and perhaps answer some of the questions when you write your blog.

What were you thinking about when the story was being read?

Who is telling the story and why are they doing so?

‘… and stole our children.’ What does this mean?
