Probability - Maths Term 2

We have been learning to use everyday language to talk about the chance of something happening. We have read lots of different fairy tales and talked about things we 'will' see, 'might' see and 'won't' see. We also learnt other words like maybe, could, definitely, probably, certainly, perhaps, never, always, possible and impossible.

Our final challenge was to work with a buddy to draw pictures that we 'will' see, 'might' see and 'won't' see in a fairy tale of our choice. We had to work together to decide by listening to each other. Here is a photo of our final drawings and where we decided the pictures belonged.
