World's Fastest Indian - Burt's Final Ride

Scene made by members of the Iron Men literacy group (Kaiya, Una, Roman, Brandon, Cassius and Blayde).

Update - The World's Fastest Indian

Today the Iron Men recreated Burt's final ride in the film. They had written a storyboard and parts for each character. There was some confusion at times over roles and responsibilities, but learning will have come from this.

They showed a lot of enthusiasm for this project and should be proud of their movie scene once edited. See the image below of their Indian Scout replica.

Numeracy - Addition and Subtraction Strategies

This term we have had a strong focus on number knowledge, addition and subtraction. We have learned many strategies to solve problems.

Today we each sat down with a buddy to put our heads together. We had a series of problems of varying difficulty and made decisions over what strategies would work best in each situation.

Many children are showing a good knowledge of addition and subtraction, which will provide a strong foundation when we begin multiplication and division next term.
