Measurement

This week we are learning how to measure things.
At first we weren't sure how to measure correctly but we came up with 3 rules to help us...
1) Measure in a straight line.
2) Use the same equipment.
3) Don't have any gaps between the equipment.

Look at what we could measure...

What our soft toys got up to in the night...

This week we brought our soft toys to school to help us with our measurement work. But our toys got up to some interesting things in the night and even wrote us notes...

St Johns First Aid

Today we had a visit from Jan a First Aid Officer and her ambulance "Ambe". We learnt about what St Johns do and what to do if we are in an emergency.

 

 

Our tiny dragons

Today for writing we imagined if we each had a mini dragon appear in our bedrooms. We talked about what its name might be, where it came from, what it looks like and what we would do with it.

I slowly opened my eyes, there was a little, little dragon. It's name was marshmallow. It lived in a deep dark cave. I will have it as my pet. I touch his skin it felt like soft skin.
By Joss

I see creepy, sneaky eyes. Can you believe it?... a mini dragon. I always wanted a pet dragon. Hmmmm what should I name it?
Snow head that's what I should call it. I wonder where it lives? Maybe in a cave by the sea. I searched it up on the computer. I said "don't you live in a mountain?"
Then snow head whispered "yes I live in a mountain".
By Daniel

When I woke up there was a dragon. I said "am I dreaming?" But no it was real. The dragon was shiny everywhere and had wings like a bat.  I might call you Smokey. Then it talked in English. I screamed "aaaaaa!"
By Nga

Please let us know what you think of our writing and everything else we get up to :)!

Fraction Party Friday

Today we had a fraction party. First we got to choose our favourite fraction, to be our new name.

 

 We also shared something that we brought from home that was about fractions.

Awesome fraction book Sam!

Tilly cut her sandwich into quarters :)

Daniel had 1 whole pear.

Cassie brought a wooden cake that could be cut into quarters!

Jacks sandwich was cut in half.

Cooper brought a block that had been cut into thirds :)

We then got to make our own fairy bread and cut into fractions, it was yummy!

We also played a game with chocolate and had to choose which group to join so that we got the biggest fraction of chocolate.

 

Fabulous Fractions

This week we are learning about fractions in maths. We loved using play dough to create and understand fractions.

Thanks Cass for visiting our class!!!

"Oh no" said the boy. Here is a monster! He's got spooky eyes and furious teeth. By Sam O

Watch out James! A big bumpy monster which is like a sea dragon is behind you. It will gobble you up and spit you out. It will sneak up with his creepy eyes. The monster is really, really hungry. His eyes are yellow. By Daniel

Look out, watch out! The monster is grumpy. He is hungry for marshmallows and meat. I wonder if the monster is going to eat you up. He has ears like dragon wings. By Emily

A humongous monster is going to eat you! By Mac

Grr, grr... look watch out! There is a slimy monster behind you, it has sharp teeth and it's eyes are yellow and bright. Its body is fat and his arms are humungous. The monsters ears are pointy and black. The monster is getting closer...and closer...and closer!
By Mykaelah

Watch out, don't be about on a spooky night. The humongous monster is behind you. His head is like a marshmallow. It is a sea monster with eyes like burning fire. His teeth are like a vampires and his body is all bumpy. My Max
