Clay Day

Today was our clay day!!  

Here we are creating. 

Carnival prep

We have finished making our contribution for the school carnival. We've used glue guns (even suffering from a couple of drops of hot glue on the skin - ouch!); we've painted and painted and painted; and then we added bling to our wands. They're looking amazing and we think they will sell out super fast at the carnival!!

Maths and RWC

In maths we used our skills at making enlargements to create a Rugby World Cup display for our classroom.

Transposing from a small grid to a larger one is harder than you'd think!!

Gala prep

We have started creating our magical wands to sell at the Gala on 19 September. We put hot glue onto chopsticks and then painted them. They're looking pretty fantastic!!

Abracadabra!!!

Happy birthday!!

Happy birthday today to Liam!!

And I think I forgot to post Jade and Josh's birthday pics so here they are!

 Happy belated birthday Josh!

Happy birthday Jade!!

20 minute Tuesday

I love how my class loves to read!!! We have "20 minute Tuesday" every Tuesday after lunch where the children get 20 minutes of uninterrupted reading of a chapter book.  By Year 5 one of our reading goals is to be able to read silently for 20 minutes. I think  everyone in our class can confidently check off that goal!! 

Fractions and Movies

Today we learnt how to make stop motion movies while demonstrating a fact about fractions.  Here are some photos of us at work. Finished movies to follow below.

The Stop Motion app we used is available for free on your iphone or ipad.  It's super easy to use!
