Get really speedy at + and - to 10 then practise to 20.Blast the sums that come down like space invaders. Great for getting fast at addition!http://www.arcademicskillbuilders.com/games/alien/alien.htmlDon't get slimed!

Showtime

Week 5 is our Dance performance.
We will make our head gear at school but I will need each child to wear coloured t shirt and pants to match their character. I will send a notice home next week about this. Each child will also need to bring a small torch to school next week for our opening dance. We are practising hard and look forward to you all coming to watch this performance.

Interesting websites

I have included some websites below that may be interesting and helpful.
http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/
This is a new site where you can look at planets and constellations through NASA's telescope.
I am looking for some maths basic facts websites so that you can practise your basic facts at home.
