1W ARE AUTHORS

It was an exciting week in 1W last week as we published our first fiction books. Each child wrote their own stories that had beginning, middle and end. We then edited our work and read it to a friend. Next we had to write a second draft and Melanie typed up our stories into a book format. With all the practise we have been doing on our illustrations after the Cartoonist Incursion we then ilustrated our own books. Mrs. Wynde was really impressed with some of the facial expressions on the characters. Finally we made a front cover for our books and Mrs. Wynde stapled them together.We read our books to Prep C.

Multiplication

This week we have been doing a lot of work with multiplication. In grade 1 we call it 'groups of'. Mrs Wynde gave us some problems and we had to show the groups with unifix blocks. She then gave us a number and we had to try to make as many different equal groups. We then had to write the sum. That was hard because sometimes we couldn't make equal groups. Today we were allowed to make our own sum. Ashley made 2 groups of 10 and she worked out it equalled 20.
