Poetry that adds up!

In Literacy last week we wrote acrostic poems based on our 5 R's for Life-long learning. We used a website on the internet to write each poem. Following that we used our first draft to reflect on our poems and then improve them with a second version . 

In numeracy we focused on place value of 5 digit numbers and the written method for formal addition. We also investigated what happens when you add 2 ,4-digit palindromic numbers (numbers written the same backwards and forwards eg 3443 + 4554). We worked systematically and discussed how the pattern changed.
