Discovery time in Room 2

The children enjoyed this weeks discovery activities; Autumn trees, duplo, lego and outside hockey.

Maths Challenge Monday 23rd March

Today I gave the kids a fraction snake activity. Eating snakes is a delicacy in some parts of the world. Three people (colours on the left side of the picture) have ordered a piece of this snake but they would like at least half of the piece to match their colour.

Here are the rules for the activity:

1) The snake must be cut up into three pieces (they do not have be even pieces).

2) The 3 recipients of the snake pieces must get at least half of their own colour in their piece. 

Good luck and if you solve start making your own that follow the same rules as this but are different patterns.

06/03 Library Visit

Some the Reading Groups will have a focus over the next couple of weeks to start to discover what types of books they are interested in. It could be an author, a genre, or a specific topic. There choices in books should then begin to reflect what they are interested in. Begin or continue to discuss this idea with them at home when Reading.

Mission Menu Term 1 2015

You might have noticed that there are four possible days to share your Mission Menu on. This is a trial to see if it helps allow parents to be present at their child's presentation. Also, I am seeing if the children would like more presentation time. Now the only other thing to organise is what day you are going to share on. You can leave a comment on this page with your choice, fill out the form in the cloakroom with what day you would like to share, but check with your parents so they are able to come and see you share.
