Bubble Fun

Bubble Fun

WALT / Practising to Count On and Count Back

Today we had a visit from the Science in a Van Roadshow.  

We learnt about mixtures, separation and reactions.  We also had some bubble fun.

We decided to see how many bubbles we could blow in ONE breath and then add them together and take them away - this way we could practise our addition and subtraction and basic facts.

Some of us had to blow a few times to make sure we got enough bubbles to count!

"It was easy for us to work out the answer because we helped each other.  We could use the 100s board to help us count or we could count on or backwards from the biggest number."

Maths - WALT identify 2D and 3D shapes

WAL about Geometry.

We have learnt that "Geometry" means shapes.  

We already knew a lot about 2D shapes so spent most of our time learning about 3D shapes.  We went on a shape treasure hunt around the school and took photo's of lots of different 3D shapes.  Some were easy to find and others were hard but it was lots of fun!  We made shape monsters using some of the shapes we had learnt about.

Ali's reflection:
"I liked learning about 3D shape. I learnt about a trapezoid.  It has 4 sides.  I found a shape like a trapezoid outside was the auditorium steps.  I liked making my shape monster - it was hard to trace out the shape of the monsters mouth."

WAL our Basic Facts

Playing Slide Maths with a friend

Ali's Reflection:

"Sometimes I like Maths.  Sometimes it is tricky for me.  I forgot to practise my basic facts for homework.  I got 10 out of 30 on my test.  Next time I will try to get a higher score if I practise."

We Are Learning To Read Graphs - Statistics Strand Term 1

Ali's Reflection:

I am learning about graphs.

It is easy for me because my dad can help me with my statistics.

All About Shapes

This term Room 4 has been learning about Shapes. We have been looking around our school for different shapes that we can find (we found lots on the playground!) 

After we found the shapes, we looked at the qualities of each shape, like how many sides they had.

Miss Donnell took us outside and we drew some of the shapes we had seen around our school. In the middle we wrote how many sides they had.

These are my shapes.

Maths Groupings

We are learning to know groupings with 5.

'These are my teddy bears. I have 2 groups.'

Making Patterns with Teddy Bears

We are learning to find patterns with teddy bears.
'I can make lots of patterns. These are my favourite colours.'

Before and After Numbers

We are learning to identify numbers before and after up to 20.

Ali: I know I can do bigger numbers too. I am really good at after numbers.
