Keep a diary or short note about what you enjoyed or learned each week. USING LANGUAGE, SYMBOLS AND TEXT * Make a maths game for the class. This could also be an oral 5 minute maths game etc. * Use Kid- Blog to tell us how you spent ANZAC day and make a comment on someone else’s blog or the class blog. Access this via the class blog, sign in and write a post, publish and Mrs Thomas will get an email.
