An Eventful Week - Part 1

Last week in Koru Assembly we performed three Elastic Skipping Rhymes. A big thank-you to Amelia, Tianlu and Annie for taking the time to make elastics using loom bands. This has been a very popular thing to do in our room.

Mrs Jing and Mrs Kirke and Annie are all working together to problem solve how to best use the function line to program Cubetto.

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.

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

Ice breaker Jelly Bean Activity

  

                                                         

Room 24 began the year with some Ice Breaker activities. We were given some plastic jelly beans. We choose one which was colour coded to a sentence starter. We told our buddy about our family, our holidays, what we liked to play and what we are good at. We learned a lot about each other.
