WAMMO BAMMO is a Mrs Lees word, it means instantly, STRAIGHT AWAY, right off the top of your head

EVERYONE should know their 2,5,10x tables instantly

MOST should know there 3 and 4x tables instantly as well

MANY of you are ready to work on instant recall of ALL your tables 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

There are many ways to learn your tables. You have a class challenge shared with you called 'Wammo Bammo'. This is a fun step to get you well on the way to instant recall.

1. Your first step will be to have your tables tested, please ask the adult testing you to mix them up.

2. This poster will be helpful:

3. You will receive a tables license to be printed and folded into a mini booklet.(These will be printed at school for those of you who don't have printers at home). We will talk about these on Wednesday.

4. Here is a board game to play at home, you can also get a copy of this from school. Print off and play with your parents :) There will be copies available at school later in the week.

Can you come up with some other games, websites or ideas to help you learn your tables? Email me your suggestions, you never know what the reward will be!

Reusing materials

As part of our inquiry on SUSTAINABILITY, can you come up with some ways of using things you already have to make something new?

For example, using scraps of wool you could make a pom pom...

With an empty plastic milk carton you could make an elephant!

With an empty egg carton you could make a caterpillar

Think about other items of rubbish that you could use- cardboard cylinders, plastic bottles, tin cans and glass bottles. How could these items be reused to create something new?

You have two weeks to create your terrific tool or toy.

These are to be shared next Thursday, 3rd July
