WALT
·    To compose and create a rap (with beat if possible) about bullying
I wake up in the morning don't want to go to school
They call me a fool but they think they're cool

They follow me down the street
On my way to school
and they call me a creep
I don’t know what to do

when I get to school
they push me on the grass
At 9 o clock the bell goes I don't want to go to class cause I know that
They are going to bully me fast
Bullying is not ok for you or me

Let’s stop..

bullying in the school
Should be gone forever
No it's not .









































Math Term 3

My goal is to now the time tables








Family of Facts

8 x 7 =56
7 x 8 =56
56 ÷ 7 =8
56 ÷ 8 =7

4 x 15 = 60
15 x 4 = 60
60 ÷ 4 = 15
60 ÷ 15 = 4

11 x 10 = 110
10 x 11 = 110
110 ÷ 10 = 11
110 ÷ 11 = 10

12 x 11 = 132
11 x 12 = 132
132 ÷ 11 = 12
132 ÷ 12 = 11

14 x 5 =70
5 x 14 = 70
70 ÷ 5 = 14
70 ÷ 14 = 5

12 x 6 = 72
6 x 12 =72
72 ÷ 12 =6
72 ÷ 6 = 12







WALT Solve division problems with remainders





  • Sally has 39 biscuits that she wants to put in to packets of 5.

How many packets can she fill?  7 (5 x 7 = 35)
How many biscuits will she have left over? 4
Answer = 7 r 4

  • 17 children wanted to play soccer. There are 5 people in each team. How many teams were there and how many children would have to be reserves?
17 ÷ 5 = 3 r2 (3 x 5 = 15, 15 + 2 = 17)
