Just the two of us....

 Today day Room11 wrote some cool definitions from different reading books. Definitions are what a word means.  We wrote the definitions onto cards that we will use for a guessing game.  Here is an example...

Summer: A hot season when lots of beautiful flowers grow.

This afternoon for maths we made 'mini-me's We measured parts of our bodies and worked out what a quarter of it was.  We used our times tables to help us.  For example, Connor's top of his leg is 56cm.  1/4 of 56cm is 14cm (we know this because 14x4=56) so he cut a strip of paper 14cm long and stuck it onto black paper.  
We then did the same for other parts of our body.  When we had finished we had a model of ourselves that is 1/4 of the real size! Simple!
