Fractions

As an introduction to Fractions we had a Bus Stop activity.

 We drew a line on a shot glass with vivid's marking half, a quarter, three quarters and full. We used our drink bottle to make and drink the amounts.

 We were given a ball of dough and asked to find half of it. 

Some of us used the scales to check. 

 We were given a ball of wool and asked to make it as long as the table and then find half of that length. 

 We were asked to take a handful of pasta and then to find half of that amount.

 We were given 4 squares and cut them in half in different ways and used the shapes to make the letter T and M and a rocket.

Room 24 Art display

Here are some examples of our art work that was displayed in the hall for this year's Art exhibition

A big thank-you to Mrs Michael's for helping with the butterflies and mounting and  to Mrs Zhu and Renee for helping with the printing and to Mrs Bannister for supplying and painting the boxes and for supplying the card. Thank-you to Mrs Varga for mounting our Colour Robber Art. 

A great team effort that helped show case our wonderful Art work.

Part B ARTS WEEK

Using Glitter Gel Hama Beads we made butterflies which will be displayed 

in the Arts Exhibition

Using cardboard we cut and constructed a flower which was later printed in 

white onto black paper.

Mrs Dijkstra read us the big book "Cass the Colour Robber" we drew a scene from the story where all the colour had been zapped.  Our next blog post will show our second drawing where the Colour Robber has a change of heart and returns the colour, 

making everything rainbow.

Coding using the Osmos

This week with assistance from our lovely parents, we all got started with Osmo Coding for the first time this year. The challenge is to guide Awbie ( a playful character) who loves eating strawberries on a tree shaking, strawberry- munching adventure by giving him commands using the coding blocks. Such fun!!

Project Jonah

Project Jonah came to school and told us really interesting facts and information about whales. With Room 19 we made origami whales. It was challenging making the folds and following the instructions, but we did it! Valentina is looking extra happy because it was her birthday today which she also shares with Mrs Dijkstra.

Chinese New Year

To celebrate the start of Chinese New Year some children in Room 24 wore Traditional costumes and looked gorgeous!

Mrs Dijkstra showed us a video on on You Tube  from Fortune Tales that explained a number of traditions that take place during Chinese New Year.

We also made a red envelope and an origami Dog. Daisy very kindly gave some children an envelope to take home. It was a fun day!
