Celebration Night - the Choir

The choir sang beautifully at the opening of Celebration Night.

Wrist wrappers rock!

We sprayed the wrist wrappers gold and glued on tiny jewels.

We followed the instructions in School Journal 25 to make wrist wrappers.

Winter Maths

Can you guess what number we skip counted up to?

We are learning to skip count in fives using gloves.  First we count up, then we count back - that's the hard part because you have to take your glove off very quickly as the class counts back to zero!

Multiplication

Brianna and Karissa made an array to show 6 x 2

Daniel used a number line to skip count in 2s.

Reading the book, "The Impossible Bridge"

Ethan, Kate, Ganujan and Adan built this bridge.

Kaleb, Hannah T and Karissa built this bridge.

Chloe-Mae, Celia and Nisha made changes to their bridge design.

The Tiger reading group read the book, The Impossible Bridge, and then they followed the instructions in the book to make their own bridges using materials from around the classroom.

The Polar Bear Club

Ben brought a waka he had made with his Grandad for a test run in the water.

At the end of the swimming season, some people joined the Polar Bear Club and swam at lunchtime.  The water was icy when  you first slipped in!
