Experimenting with sound

In Tautoru, we have been experimenting with different sounds. We have been using chairs as drums and experimenting with  different instruments...

We have also been experimenting with different rhythms.

Standard unit for weight

In Maths this week we have been learning about the standard units we use to measure weight. We learnt about Kilograms and Grams. When we weigh ourselves we use Kilograms (KG's). Some of the things we figured out were...
- People weigh more if they have shoes on
- People might be heavier if they are taller
- People might be lighter if they are shorter
- People gain and lose weight which makes them lighter and heavier
- People might weigh more or less depending on the time of day and how much they have eaten or drunk.
- Of course, Chrissy weighed the most out of all of us!!
Watch our video to see some of our learning that took place this week. Enjoy!

Salsa Dancing

Today we learnt a little about the history of salsa and some did some salsa dancing. This was a lot of fun!

We are learning dance and music skills in our lead up to the music festival. Our Inquiry is about "Sound".

Yoga to wake our brains up!

Yoga to start the day!

Weight

In Maths we have been exploring weight and learning about non-standard units. We have had a lot of fun trying to balance the scales and seeing which objects are heavier and lighter.
