Hello everyone, what a busy bee month it has been! We have enjoyed so many activities since our last blog such as: Health Week, Harvest Festival, our October Week  holiday, Parents Night (well done everyone!) and Halloween Parties.

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEN!

We all had the best time ever! Firstly we had fun games like spooky corners, then dancing to Halloween tunes, followed by a spooky DVD finally we had Halloween treats and juice!

PUMPKIN INVESTIGATION

We can use measure to investigate our class pumpkin!
We used a kg weight to help us make an educated guess, we know that is called an estimate!
We used Problem Solving skills to figure out how to measure the width /circumference!

Our estimate = 62 cm

ACTUAL Width of circumference = 64cm

 

Our estimate = 3kg

ACTUAL WEIGHT of PUMPKIN = 2kg 400g

A hue is just a color. Basically any color on the color wheel like this …

Our colour explosions …

Tints, tones, and shades are differences of the hues found on the color wheel when white, black or both are mixed in.

Here a we are creating tones of blue and red, we did this by adding white gradually.

Then we used paper collage to create autumnal spooky pictures.
