As part of our Numicon maths we have been learning about repeating patterns.
Soi Ha can tell us the pattern he made.
We have used Numicon coloured pegs and teddies to make patterns with 2 colours. This was a fun activity that really made us think. We are learning and having fun everyday!
This term we will be learning all about the Sun and the Moon and how the effect our life here on Earth. We love science and are very excited to be learning about Space! Our teachers made a movie to share some of the things we will be studying, like day and night, the seasons and why we need the sun. You can watch the movie here and please leave us a comment.
Room 27 have had a wonderful term, exploring, learning and creating. And making friends!. We hope you have a great holiday.
What an amazing night on Thursday. Pt England School put on the most amazing show for our whanau and community. Room 27 tamariki performed in the Hip Hop, Cook Islands, Myanmar and Jump Jam groups. And we had so much fun. Thank you to all the people who came to support us.
Check out the Pt England Website for video of the performances which will be available soon.
This week we were so lucky to get books from our friend Duffy! Everyone got two books to take home. What a wonderful surprise!
Friday was a very wet day in Auckland. We listened to a story called Walking home in the Rain. The children have fun in the rain and wind. We talked about what we like about a wet day.
Then we created some art to illustrate our writing.
We are all in this together. As we come to the end of term 1 we have been talking about how our class can be good classmates. We have talked about how we can help each other and be good friends. We know that we are all learning together and we are all in our class waka on a learning journey. This is our class waka. Each of us coloured a paddle to show we are working together.
This term we have been sharing about ourselves and our whanau. We have got to know each other and talked about what gives us joy.
We created self portraits to share our learning. Here are some of our paintings.
This week we received our Numicon resources and dived straight in to our new maths learning. We have been learning about the different numicon shapes, their colours and sizes. Our first task was to cover the baseboard using the different shapes and not leave any space uncovered. We discovered we needed to change shapes and rotate and flip some shapes to make it work! We also noticed that everyone used different shapes to cover their boards. This showed us that sometimes there are many ways to solve a problem.
We love maths with Numicon.
We made a movie for PENN (Pt England News Network) to introduce ourselves to the school.
You can watch it here.
