2018 Math's Week

Room 24 loved Math's Week. Each day we went onto the website and played Daily Dollar and Math's Millionaire. We were very close at guessing how many lollies there were in Mrs Madden's jars.

Below we are playing Dots and Boxes - a fun game which challenged us to think about strategy. 

Mrs Dijkstra read us the picture book "Each Orange has 8 Slices" Each page posed a mathematical problem which we tried to solve. We talked about what strategy we might use. 

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.

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!

Fergal is Fuming

Mrs Dijkstra read us a story called Fergal is Fuming. Fergal is a dragon who gets mad. His fiery temper gets him into trouble. He needs to find ways to cool down. His friends suggest that he could count to ten. He could tell a friend. He could watch the sunset. He could find a quiet spot and make a big noise. He could lie back and have a big stretch. He could run fast. At the end of the story he finds interesting ways to use his fire. What do you think that might be? Maybe there will be times when we could use some of Fergal's cool down ideas?
