Fair

We are making signs for the school fair. We have to make  them bright and make sure the spelling is correct.  Our stall is the Sandpit Treasure Hunt.

Fractions

We like eating Mrs Bourkes banana cakes.  She makes them from some of the banana's that people forget to eat and leave in the classroom. Today the banana cake had chocolate in it.  We cut it up into fractions.  We had to make sure that everyone got a piece.  First we had to work out how many people there were in the classroom. We have 26 children, but 3 were away so that made 23 but we had 2 extra people so that made 25. We then decided that we had to cut the cake into 25ths.  So each  person got 1/25th of the cake.  It was yummy. It had chocolate icing on it.

Earthquake

There was an earthquake in Christchurch.  I was scared.  My sister was screaming and I could hear glass breaking.  We got under the table.  It went for 30 seconds and it was 7.1.  It was really scary.

Maths

We have been learning about symmetry, we know if we fold something on top of something else and it fits evenly that it is symmetrical.

The Perfect World

Jack and Luke have been learning about We are the World and thinking about what a perfect world is.  It is when you have healthy food, fresh air, good homes to live in, healthy drinks.  If you feel loved you feel happy. Being kept safe and being responsible and helping people work.

Inquiry learning

Jack and I were good at reading the words.  A perfect world is where people can live and have a house to live in, water and food.

Frogs

Frogs like to eat flies and crickets. Some frogs eat different things.
There are heaps of different kinds. There is a bell frog and a tree frog and a bull frog.


They live in a jungle and in ponds. Some look brown and green.
