Jam and Preserving

We are wondering about jam... Please go home and see what the use by date is on your jam or other preserves. 

Video Call with Bukit Timah School/ Singapore

We did a video call with Bukit Timah Primary School on the 15th of October. Nicola went to visit this school last term!
They asked a lot of  questions and we asked a lot of questions. They answered a lot of questions and we answered a lot of questions. They have around 900 pupils and they have 20 ish pupils in a class.

Singapore does have a few lightning storms because they have a very hot climate so most of them wear shorts or skirts.

They asked us if our teachers are fierce. We told them that our teachers are funny.

You might think it is an old school because they do have lots of desks.

They speak Tamil, English, Malay and Chinese and a lot of other different languges.

We enjoyed our video call with Bukit Timah School and we look forward to doing it again soon.

Ordering Fractions

We were asked to order fractions smallest to biggest. We worked together as a group to complete the task.

We each got a slice of bread and had to cut the bread into fractions.

Some of us made mistakes... But that is ok because we know that we learn from our mistakes and a "FAIL" is a first attempt in learning. 

We are all able to order fractions...

Travelling Tales: Bob the Big White Shark

We have been involved in the first travelling tale. "This is a club that is designed to connect children to other schools so they can collaborate to create short stories to share with the world." This tale has been to Luxembourg, Taiwan and New Zealand.

Students in Nicola's literacy group helped to come up with the ideas for the middle part of the story (the problem/ dilema). Molly, Marnie, Hadley, Lachlan and Nye's voices are heard in this tale.

Transition: Autahi to Tautoru

It's transition time. Autahi students are coming through to work with our Year 1 and 2 students in Tautoru because they will be working together next year. We drew superheroes and gave them character strengths. 

Getting ready for next year...

Today we got together with the Year 3, 4 and 5 students to start getting to know each other and work together. Today we started by looking at what character strengths animals have.
