Dear children,

We went through another part of the English test paper today before beginning on the one-to-one Reading and Response Test. So far, 8 of you have been tested and most have done quite well. I look forward to testing another 8 of you tomorrow.

Before starting on 2-step word problems, we went through the corrections for model drawing for 1-step word problems. I have uploaded the slides I used for you to revise at home. Please click on this link to download the slides and look through them:

If you think you are still not too good with models for 1-step word problems, you can ask your parents to view the slides together with you. For each question, try to explain to them:

1) Why that type of model is suitable for the question

2) Why the model is drawn like that

3) How the model is labelled

Explaining something to others will help you to learn better. You can use the different colours in my models to help you.

Have a great evening with your family! :)
