Math	This week we have practiced subtraction using the column method with and without regrouping. We had lots of mixed up sums to check if we could choose the right method to solve them. We also solved worded subtraction problems and wrote our own word problems.	Measure and estimate lengths in centimetres; tell the time involving multiples of 5 minutes past the hour and 5 minutes to the hour; tell time to 5 minutes; begin to say the time 10 minutes later
Inquiry	This week we had activities to further the use of Maths when learning about products and how they are made. This involved block graphs, Venn diagrams and an activity to make the price for products we know.	We will finish our inquiry by reflecting on the learning journey we had have. This will include discussing what we have learnt, what we can do next and how to improve for our next inquiry unit.
Art	This week we completed the papier mache and painting of our model aeroplanes. It was messy fun and the students enjoyed adding colour to their models.	We will add the final decorations (windows, airline name etc) to our model aeroplanes.
