The Giant Walk

On Friday the whole school enjoyed the Giant Walk to the Snakes and Ladders park.

 

Room 9 had their Room 1 Buddies and Room 9a had their Room 13 Buddies to walk with as well as lots of parents and grandparents.

It was awesome having the Police dog and Wanda the school bus walk with us!

We did really well walking all that way with our little legs!

Lucky we had Mrs Venville shining bright in the front with her fluro safety vest to guide the way!

Thank you to all the helpers on the day, it was lots of fun!

Fractions

 We have been learning about fractions.

Mrs Harding taught us how to share a pizza or a doughnut between 2 people so we got 1/2 each, or between 4 people so we got 1/4 each.

On Friday, Mrs Burge brought apples into school. First, we talked about the whole apple.

  

Mrs Burge cut the apple into two equal pieces which made halves. 

1/2 means one of two equal-sized pieces that make the whole. 

   

Mrs Burge then cut the apple into 4 equal-sized pieces which made quarters.

1/4 means one of four equal-sized pieces that make the whole.

  

We got to eat one 1/4 at a time. 

Some of us ate one quarter, some of us ate a half, some of us ate three quarters and some of us ate a whole apple!

What a delicious way to learn!

Digital Technology with Mrs Lee

On Thursday Mrs Lee taught us about Algorithms!

We created a map and gave Bee Bot instructions to make him move. 

We all enjoyed making him do a little dance at the end of his journey!

Fun with Hunter

 Hunter was having fun while singing the Jolly Phonics song!

Hunter and his family managed a bike ride along Little Bucklands beach where Hunter asked the question "Why do we have high and low tide?" Maybe you could find that out for yourselves and comment below.

Hunter also noticed a floating crane whilst on his bike ride. 

Hunter finished the day by playing a game of Monopoly, using Maths to count, add, and subtract!

Which games have you played as a family?
