New Maths Links

There are new links to telling the time as that will be our focus for a couple of weeks in class. One thing you can do at home is time yourself at how long it takes you to complete certain tasks (brushing your teeth, walking to the letter box, kicking the ball 20 times in the air) and then multiply that by the amount of times you would do that a week. You might be surprised at the results!!

Walking to the letter box=4mins
4mins x 7 days=????
Sleeping=9 and a half hours per night
9.5 x 7=????

Goal: Perserverance with a task

The children commented on ways in which they were able to think through situations and circumstances, showing perserverance. I felt like a very proud teacher!!

Context: Explorers

The four activities were able to give different platforms for the children to explore and learn about explorers. Rock Art was given the purpose of creating memories when you had finished your adventurous journey or exploration, building gave the children a chance to design equipment that a climber might use when scaling mountainous terrain, marble and tracks explored the concept of crossing large caverns and what you might need to think about, and the use of blocks looked at what you might build for the people who let you scale their local mountain.

Next weeks goal: Managing Ourselves to tidy up on time to get out to morning tea!
