Measuring for maths is fun!

When we first started measuring we used unconventional measures. We measured with anything we could find. We knew we had to start at a starting point and use the same sized thing to measure with, and not have any spaces in-between.  Well, that was the theory anyway.



We also estimated then measured the capacity of different sized containers.


Some people decided they would use rulers to measure length. They measured using centimeters.

Our Art

Look at our whiteboard covered with lovely sunflowers!  James' Nana is an artist. She came in and taught us about warm and cool colours. She brought sunflowers with her for us to observe with our artist's eyes.  Then we coloured in some outlines using oil pastels choosing warm colours. We also experimented with blending some of the pastel colours.      If we finished early we could colour a whole sunflower with stalk and leaves. We could also draw our own sunflower with petals. Thank you, Mrs Evans 😊

I wonder if there are crocodiles and sharks. If I was one of them I would be impressed and terrified! Megan I can see people. I can see that the bridge is broken. I can see that the bridge goes down. I can see that the people have got a scared face. I think that the river has some crocodiles. I th...

Visit to Tip Top

Going on the bus with Room 5 was a fun way to travel. Here we are in front of one of the original old ice cream trucks. We weren't allowed to take photos inside the factory. We just had to remember all the interesting things we saw about how milk changes into ice cream.  But when we were in the media room we got to choose a free ice cream from the freezer full of icecreams... ...then we got to sit on these fun little seats... ...and couches... ...and benches to enjoy our ice cream... ...with our classmates, friends and parents... ...while we watched a movie that told us all about... ...the Tip Top ice cream factory and lots of... ...interesting facts. After we finished our ice cream it was time for more fun! Which was playing on their playground of course while Room 5 had their turn to watch the movie and choose their yummy ice cream. After a good play, it was time for lunch at their conveniently located picnic ...
