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.

Pirate Hats with our Buddies

Room 24 enjoyed another paper folding activity that was made into a Pirate Hat finished off with a skull and crossbones. Great team work Room 24 and Room19!

Family Shields

We made a shield. We drew pictures of our family and of food we like to eat and of things we like to play and of things our family like to do together. Our shields told a lot about us and helped us get to know each other better.

Mrs Dijkstra loved the detail in our drawings and how colourful they looked. Mr Dijkstra stapled them up high around our room because he is nice and tall.
