Is it the end of Week 3 of Term 2 already?

Oh my, how time flies! Our library week has ended as well, and I would like to congratulate Rinaldi for handing in the best activity worksheet. Hmm..Why is it that no one took up my challenge of writing about your favourite folktale or fable? Many thanks to Ian for lending us his storybooks so that we can enjoy them together. I will continue to read them to you when we have finished all our work! As you have come to realize, all fables come with morals that are meaningful and useful to always keep in mind. (We all now know how to pronounce 'Aesop' too! ;) Here are photographs of those who came to school dressed as fable/folktale characters:

















Characters from 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf": (Do you still remember the moral of this fable?)





















Last but not least, I did not forget about the fun Maths websites that I promised to put up on the blog for you to explore on your own! =)

How good are your estimation skills? This game involves conversion into metres and millimetres as well so that you can challenge yourself!

This is the game we tried out in class! Have fun balancing the scale and also practising your subtraction at the same time as well! Grab a piece of rough paper to do your working on and start now!

5) Multiplication
Have fun revising your basic multiplication facts with 'Camel times tables'! Three levels of difficulties available!
