This is a day that only happens every 4 years!
We worked out that we will all be 9 or 10 years old before another leap year happens.

K4S: We are persisting!
This week we are focusing on persisting!
This means that we try and try and KEEP trying until we can do things.
Persisting is a really important tool to have in your Learning Toolbox!
We watched this video of Ormie the Pig - he is so good at persisting, he just keeps trying.

Graphing with TINS!
Today was mufti day and we each bought in a can/tin of spaghetti, baked beans or tinned fruit to support our Breakfast Club.
Since we are also learning about Statistics and graphing, we used the cans to make some bar graphs. We used our keywords of most, least and same to talk about our findings.
Check out the pictures of us learning!
