Sumdog and it is only day TWO!

Look at the results already. Year 5, your maths is going to rock this year!


Well done from dreamy CJ Sumdog...

Lauren and Caitlin's persistence paid off

Super use of reflecting on the maths tools we have learnt to solve problems.

This is one of our Learning Power Rs!  You did well!

Katy wrote using 3D & surround sound words

The horror of the pussing, scarlet warts bubbled upon the wobbly terrifying body of the deafening thing.

Wow... Keep it up Katy!

Successful, enjoyable and active problem solving

...with a great team.

Levi: Step 3 - How to care for a giant

We loved this sentence today from Levi's Let's Get Writing instructions:

3. Take him to a foot spa so the fish can nibble his rotten, old, dry skin off.

Creative and entertaining… just what we like! Well done!
