6 x  3= 18
6  x 4=24
6 x  5= 30
6  x 6=36
6 x  7= 42
6  x 8= 48

2017 camp

This Term in week two we went to Bridge Valley for a few days. We did a lot of fun activities like paint ball, high rope, low rope, jumping off a diving platform into a cold lake. We also did fire and damper and many more things like that.  It was really fun and I will go back there one day and do more fun activities. My favourite thing about camp was the paintball and the fire and damper.  Here are some photos.

Last term I have been learning my 7 times tables.  It was hard at first, but now I find them a little easier than before.  To help me remember, I practiced with equations for example  9 x 4.  I went  7 x 4 + 2 x 4 = 36.  I used my seven times tables to work it out.


7 x 1= 7
7 x 2=14
7 x 3 =21
7 x 4=28
7 x 5=35
7 x 6=24
7 x 7=48
7 x 8=56
7 x 9=63
