week one typing speed test

Welcome to 2017.

This week we have been working with a buddy because the Year 5's do not get their Chromebooks until next week. My buddy is Honor. She can't wait until she gets her Chromebook so she can take it home.

Our favourite things about this week were playing crazy tag and Mrs P reading the book. Here are our typing test results for this week.

In Maths this week we had to draw a 9 x 9cm square.  We were trying to find the perimeter of the square.  We drew a 9 x 9cm shape in our maths book and then counted the number of square to make up the perimeter.  I learnt how to use a ruler and also to work out the perimeter of a shape.  Something I think I need to work on is doing more of these for practice.

We had to highlight key facts about Exploration.  In blue we found the time facts, in green we found the positive facts, in red we highlighted the negative facts and in yellow we highlighted the reasons why people explore.  I enjoyed this activity, it was fun.  I would like to improve of highlighting key facts not just full sentences.

WALT:  add by counting on in tens

Complete these sums by counting on in tens.  The first one is done for you as an example.

21+40=	21+10+10+10+10=	61
67+30=	67+10+10+10=	97
28+50=	28+10+10+10+10+10=	88
54+70=	57+10+10+10+10+10+10+10=	124
73+40=	73+10+10+10+10+=	113
58+60=	58+10+10+10+10+10+10=	118
49+30=	49+10+10+10=	79
35+60=	35+10+10+10+10+10=	95
29+50=	29+10+10+10+10+10	79
69+70=	69+10+10+10+10+10+10+10=	129

Extension:  Create 1 of your own and solve using the extended addition method.

1.95+70=  95 + 10+10+10+10+10+10+10=165
In Maths we were learning expanded addition and counting up in 10's.
