TIP charts

This was our first attempt at a TIP chart. Firstly we draw a bike and labelled it's parts.
After that with a buddy and a felt pen and a large piece of newsprint, divided into three columns, we choose a bike part and recorded what it is used for and then illustrated that part.
Our next step was to use this chart to help us write a description of a bike describing the parts and their purpose. We now hope to publish them on the iPad using Book Creator.
A fabulous first attempt Room 24! Too Clever thought Mrs Dijkstra and especially using technical language like tread, spokes and gears.

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. 

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!

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!
