·    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
