Maths and literacy exams are finished

Well done, everyone! We have finished our maths and literacy exams, and we can spend our remaining maths and literacy lessons this term doing educational activities that are good fun and help us to learn at the same time. We cracked a secret code this afternoon. We used our reading skills to do it. We did not have the key to the code. We looked for short words, and we knew that the most common letter is e. Using those facts we could tell what some of the letters were, and that made it easier to find the other letters. Have fun showing off your code breaking skills at home.

We also tried the game Petals Around the Rose. Some of us found the rule of the game and became Masters of the Rose. You can play the game online here. If you know the rule, don't tell anyone! Let them enjoy working it out for themselves.
