Multiplication and Division

I have been working in a group. I have been learning how to work out Multiplication and Division in a group. 

Clay pots

We had to do pretend we were stuck in the wild with nothing. We had to make something that would hold water using the materials around us. We used clay because it is found close to rivers.

Here is the clay all set up ready for us.

Shipwrecked

We have been learning how to write narratives. Here is a narrative I have written.

SHIPWRECKED

One morning Phoenix found herself floating on a piece of wood in the middle of the sea. Luckily Phoenix saw an island ahead so she swam like she meant it. As she got closer she could see the island more clearly and it looked clean like people had been looking after it. It had trees, coconuts and some little houses.

When Phoenix landed on the island she ran around the looking for someone, anyone that was around. Phoenix found two people in a house cracking coconuts. Phoenix thought she knew the people somehow, then it clicked the two people in the house were Tessa and Ariana. They were Phoenix’s best friends all through school. Phoenix decided to stay with them. They made something to sail back to the island that they sailed from.

From that day she went fishing and swam while the others cooked and cooled coconuts and mangoes. One day a strange ship was heading for the island. They got ready for battle and created weapons. 

When the strange ship arrived they headed for them and began to ambush them on the shore. But then one yelled, "STOP! we have brought you presents. They dropped their weapons and said looked up. "Who are you?" said Phoenix. I am Bob, I'm Steve. I'm Stowy. I'm Gary. I'm Kevin. “You guys were my crew mates,” said Phoenix. "Yes we were,” said Bob. "Come and have some mango and coconut water with us," said Phoenix.

After a couple of days exploring the island Phoenix and her crew mates sailed home.

 

Math learning

In maths we are learning multiplication. We did an activity called sky line arrays. We had to create a city using arrays and write the fact on each building. I did llx9, 4x4, 5x6 and 9x5.
