Maths

 

Dilraj – Today we did a whole class area lesson. We went outside into the playground and measured different things such as the MUGA, gazebo, bench, art pod step and more. When we came back in, we all compared our answers and got an average on the area and perimeter of the MUGA. It was lots of fun. 🙂

 

Millie – Yesterday we went outside and tried to find angles in nature. We were working in teams of 2 or 3 and we had to find as many angles as possible. Some are: acute, right angle, obtuse, straight line, and reflex! There were lots of hidden angles nobody thought about. We came inside and compared what we found using a bar graph. It was so much fun!

 

Dilraj – On Tuesday, we had a HUGE debate about what jobs do not include maths. Everyone tried so hard to find one but Mrs Norman proved us wrong and told us every single job in the world includes some sort of maths. We debated for a whole hour!! 

 

Millie – On Tuesday after the big debate, we were doing some maths week activities. There were 3 stations; one was sumdog, one was stem which included making calculations out of playdough and making shapes and measuring the area, and the last one was playing maths games with Mrs Norman. It was really fun and I think everyone enjoyed it!

 

Titanic

 

Dilraj – On Wednesday, we talked more about our Titanic topic and discussed a few ideas on how we could create a Titanic model for our classroom. We ended up deciding on making a 2D model that we could hang from the ceiling. Millie and Hannah drew a rough outline of the ship and then Mrs Norman split the ship into 33 sections and all got allocated a piece to colour in, such as if you had a funnel, you would colour that in yellow. The end result turned out awesome and it was so fun to make.

 

Millie – Yesterday, we all got given a printed-out picture from the Titanic, these could be a 3rd class bedroom, the pool, the grand staircase and so many more! We had a couple of minutes to write what you would hear, see, smell, taste, feel and touch if you were there. We also wrote a few describing words on it as well. Once we had finished that, we started writing on the picture you wanted to write about. Some people wrote about the 1st class bedroom, some people wrote about the boiler room, but there were so many other places to write about. It was very fun.

 

P.E

 

Dilraj – On Thursday we did P.E in the muga. We got put into groups and we had cones set out. Each group got a javelin and we had to throw it, if you got it past the white cone, you got 10 points. If you get it past the blue cone, you get 20 points and if you get it past the green cone, you get 30 points. After some throws, we did elimination rounds. After a serious competition, Kaiden won.

 

Literacy

 

Millie – for literacy this week, we did some reading on our books. Black Panther is reading Treasure Island, Iron Man is reading Eerie Encounters, Captain Marvel is reading Eager, and Hulk is reading Take a run and Jump. After we had read a few pages of our book, we went down and discussed it with our group and our teacher. Our books are very interesting! 🙂
