59% to 88.2% in 4 weeks!!!

What a finish! Super effort Room 24. You've come from the humble beginnings of 59% to achieving a whopping 88.2% yesterday. This will give you a good head start in learning more complex multiplications and divisions now. Keep the practise up. We still want to crack that 90% mark. Post a comment to show much did you improved by?

Term 2 Week 6

Great news in the Mega Maths results... Room 24 raised the bar from 78% to 82%. Rumour has it we'll hit 90% this week. Let's go out with a BANG this week and really get those multiplication facts down pact.
The Science Fair projects are coming along nicely. Most of you will be getting into the testing over the next couple of weeks. For those that are testing on humans, you'll need to make sure you have shown me your parent consent forms.
We have a special guest to Room 24 - Connor's Mum 'Mrs Sutherland' to give us some tips about presenting our information onto the science fair boards.
Well done to the Room 24 students taking part in the famine this weekend to raise money for those in need overseas. I'm looking forward to hearing how you got on at school on Monday.

Word types

Today we looked at different types of words and their 'job' in sentences. Try this interactive activity to practise what you've learnt today. (We haven't covered the last two in class yet. See if you can figure them out.) Post a comment telling us how you got on.

MEGA MATHS WEEK 2

Go Room 24. Two weeks ago our average was 59%, last week we raised that to 71%. This week (drum roll please) we have climbed to 78%! The even better news is that we still have two more weeks left of May to get high up into the 80's and beyond! Keep learning those tables team.

TABLES SPEED TEST TOMORROW!!

Tomorrow will be our first Friday multiplication speed test. I'm looking forward to seeing the average score going up!

UPDATE:
From 59% to 70% in five days! What a great start!

Term 2 Week 3

Tomorrow we head off to the Eco-santuary. I'm looking forward to our visit, I'm also excited about all the great photos you will be taking. We'll put a selection up on our blogpage.

Science Fair
I am quietly impressed with some of the ideas that Room 24 are developing. Now we need to continue researching for background information and look at how we can write the information into our own words. By Monday of next week I would like to see evidence of background research, an aim and a hypothesis (what do you think is going to happen and why)

By the end of next week the method for the experiment should be completed and the actual experiment should be underway.

Mega Maths Month
We are busy with our mega maths month. Remember we need to become faster and more accurate with our times tables. Our class average is 59%. I would love to see it increase to at least 80%. So get practising!

MEGA MATH MONTH!

For the month of May, we are having a major school wide push on times tables. Over the next 4 weeks we are going to 'get stuck in' learning our times tables. Every Friday we will be tested on 100 times tables. The test will be timed, with a cut off of 3 minutes.
Down the right handside of this blog page I have listed some helpful websites for you to practise your times tables.
Tomorrow we will find out what our target score is - let's work super hard to achieve this target!!!
Leave a comment to let us know which game you tried out tonight!
