We were the hosts at assembly today!

 Here we are showing our art.

Through this piece of art we were learning about the virtue of resilience and we were learning maths. It gave us a time to practise being resilient when completing a task. 

First we had to take our time to create the repeating patterns to decorate our bunnies. The bunnies and glasses were also very tricky to cut out. We were patient and took our time to cut carefully around each shape without cutting into the pictures. 

How does water cycle around the earth?

How does water cycle around the earth? form

We are investigating if water is and essential resource for life and on our journey we were learning about the water cycle. Here are a few examples of one of the activities that we have completed.

 

We are learning to solve mathematical problems

This week we were learning to solve problems in different ways. Were looking at solving these problems about buying food and drink for Max's birthday party.

Keegan solved the first problem like this:

• 4X6 = 24 and costs $20
• 25 drinks costs $20

The second one is the best choice. You get more drinks for the same price. 

Keegan solved the second problem like this:

He said that for every $2 he can get five apples. Four two dollars give you the $8 so 4 groups of 5 will give you 20 apples. 

Great thinking and explaining, Keegan!

We are learning to balance by playing games

We have the opportunity to work with Coach Manu this term. This week we were learning to balance on one leg. She taught us to "glue" our knees together, use aeroplane arms and to look straight ahead when we are trying to balance. We also tried to balance for as long as possible while keeping a bean bag on our head. Playing musical dots was another way we developed our balancing skills. We had so much fun!

 

Easter bunnies

We were learning about repeated patterns when we created these lovely Easter  bunnies. Look how cool they are.
