Measurement

In Room 1 we have been learning about measurement.

We talked about who had the longest worm and who had the shortest worm.

We came up with some other words to describe our worms: fat, skinny, long, short, wide, tall.

We have also been measuring animals with string.

We measured the length of the animals.

We had to make sure the knot was on the nose and the rest of the string went all the way to the end of the tail.

We measured the width of the table. Aldrich is trying to count up all the teddies to see how many he had to use.

Before we even started our tasks we guessed (estimated) how many teddies or blocks we would use.

We measured the length of the table using blocks. 

Jayshal is counting the blocks. There were 97 so he needed some help from his teacher to count all the way up to 97.

We have really enjoyed learning about measurement.

Football

We have been learning to play football with Daniel.

Daniel let us warm up with a running game.

Green means go!

Yellow means slow!

Red means stop!

We got into teams.

Our teams were different colours.

The blue team played the green team.

We had lots of fun learning football with Daniel!

Anzac Day

We made poppies for Anzac Day.

We are colouring in our poppies.

We coloured our poppies in using red and black crayons, then we dyed them red.

We put the poppies on a green cross.

The poppies mean that we never forget the soldiers.

This is our poppy poem.

This is our Anzac poem.

Our Inquiry outcome

Our question was:

How do people in the community deal with conflict (problems)?

We have the North Island of New Zealand to write our question on. Other classes have different parts of NZ.

Aldrich: we call 111 to get help

Nikita: Fire fighters can save people and stop fires.

Giani: Police officers keep us safe.

Otini: Ambulance officers take people to hospital and look after them.

These officers are all working together to help keep the community safe and to help us with problems.

Maths in Room 1

We have been learning about our numbers to ten.

I have 9 teddy bears (Aldrich)

I am pointing to number 7 (Tamatea)

I am pointing to number 5 (Jayshal)

Giani can find the number 9

We can match our numbers with our dots and teddy bears.
