In English this week we have been looking at alphabetical ordering. We have been using dictionary's to find the definition of words, we even had ago at writing our own definitions.

In Maths we have been looking at multiplication and division. We have been drawing arrays of dots and using number lines to help us solve questions. We also looked at how 3x4 is the same as 4x3 and that it can be represented as 3+3+3+3 or 4+4+4.

In Topic this week we have continued to look at Islands, we even got to make our own one! We used newspaper to create low and high land and then used mud rock to cover.
