Preparing for Cross Country

This morning we are all really excited for Cross Country.  We went out for a walk around the track and practised going over all the obstacles. Check out how awesome we look all dressed up!! Remember to come and watch us. Boys are at 1.15pm and girls are at 1.05pm. 

Daffodil Day

Thank you for all the support this Daffodil Day it was great to see children being so generous with their donation. What a great cause it is. Here we are after putting our money in the fountain and getting our daffodil to wear. 

M&M Maths

In Maths lately we have had a focus on Statistics. Today we started an investigation into what is the most common colour in an M&M packet. Check us sorting our data out and recording it with Tally marks then presenting it in a pictograph and a bar graph. 

Thank you PTA

Room 5 is so happy to announce that we lead the 10 cent challenge. Thank you to the PTA for the delicious cupcakes. We will keep collecting to try and get that free lunch. 

Our 3D shape hunt

Today we got given magazines and had to find the 3D shapes we have been learning about in class. It was fun to try and see where we find these shapes in real life

Ruler time

Today for maths we acted like Scientists and had to write down as many things as we could about rulers. We had to work as a team to look very closely at the ruler. Here are a few things we noticed:

Rulers are 30 centimetres or 300 millimetres long.

The gaps between the numbers are exactly the same. 

We start measuring from the 0. 

There are 8 little lines and 1 big line between each number.

Together as a class we discussed why these thugs are important. 

Matariki at Reading time

Today for Reading we did something different. Miss Boaler put out lots of information about Matariki and we had to find 7 facts and write them down. We had fun learning more about Matariki and can't wait to share with you on Friday. Look at how well we are working together. 

Our assembly item

We are busy practising all of our speaking parts for our assembly item. We are very excited to run the whole assembly and show you all what we have been learning. See you all on Friday morning at 9am 

Measurement fun

Yesterday we made paper planes and did an investigation into how far they could fly. As a group we had to estimate and then measure with two different units. It was a lot of fun. Check out our measuring skills. 

Room 5 Maths Measuring

We have been learning how to use a ruler properly by using our crocodile rulers. We have learnt about half, quarter and 3 quarters. Check us out measuring things around our room and recording down how long they are. We are being careful to start from the same place and record exactly where it stops.
