Metaphors

Ana-Maria

Ana-Maria is learning the parts of her body. Today we took some photographs and inserted labels and then we asked questions so she can find certain parts of her body. Ana-maria knows how to find her right hand and left hand by making an "L" with her thumb and finger. She knows the difference between one foot and two feet.

Te Moana Cross Country Goals

W. A. L.T. take green screen shots with clever Mrs G. who supports us with learning new skills on our digital devices. We have been busy practicing for our upcoming Cross Country races next month. We are all improving our fitness and improve by shortening the time it takes us complete the course. When we did the Green Screening we videoed ourselves running then we later spoke with a green screen behind us.

Mrs Neumann's Learning Map

W.A.L.T. create a digital Learning Map using Lucid Charts. How I learn has changed since the beginning of the year as we are working more collaboratively now.

Alliteration Relationships

W.A.L.T. write an alliteration describing a relationship between two creatures. We used a shared Google Doc to write our alliteration. In a shared Google Slide we had to add a background then inserted png images of the critters.

Choc and M and M Icecream

This week for reading our group (Kaitlin, Nevaeh and Zara) read a story about Joy Cowley who lives in an isolated area Seventy kilometres away from ice cream. Ice cream is one of her favourite treats so she has to make her own. We followed her recipe but chose to change the kiwi fruit for Chocolate and banana M and M's. Next time we will not add as many chips and M and M's and we'll make a triple batch so the whole class can have a taste.

            

How Long does it Take To?

W.A.L.T. identify the time taken to complete tasks. We had to estimate three tasks in seconds, three in minutes and three tasks in hours. We used a stop watch and the AA Travel distance guide to help us.

Fractions

Fractions Wall

W.A.L.T. to make a fractions wall. First we had to cut twelve pieces of paper the same length.  First we glued one whole strip, then we folded another strip in 1/2 before cutting it in half and gluing it on our wall. We repeated this process in 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, 1/12ths. We saw patterns when we cut 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/12. We saw another pattern when we cut 1/3, 1/6 and  1/9.  We saw another pattern with 1/5 and 1/10. 

Tuatete whanau

Jade created her Tuatete Whanau one night because she was bored. Her Aunty with her  gathered pine cones from the bush near her place. One night they painted them, the next night they drilled holes for the eyes and legs. Last night they put in the toothpick legs and eyes in. Afterwards she made a nest with moss and pebbles. They have a cherry to eat, "I hope they like it" Jade said. Mum really loves Jade's hedgehog family. Jade is looking forward to creating some more creations with pine cones. Our class are hopefully going to create some crafty creations with pine cones that Jade can find for us.
