Art

Room Two have been doing art with Mrs Wilson and we are designing an underwater scene. The frame on the outside is a Maori design. The underwater creature you have picked has to come out of the frame. I'm going to do a dolphin.

CURRENT EVENTS

This term we have started to work on current events by starting off by two house groups (Awaiti & Okuti). Mrs Patten has picked 2 people from the 2 house groups to share news each day. 1 person had a card telling what type of news they were to write about eg Local News (about Banks Peninsula)- National News( About New Zealand)- International News (About the World)- Sport (Sport in the world)- Free news (Any news you like to do).
You have to tell the class who, what, when, where, why and how about the news event. There will be exciting news every week with these reports.
Logan did his report on Jet boats racing up and down South Island Rivers.

Fractions

This term we are learning about fractions in maths. We have learnt a heap about fractions. There are many different fractions like ½ and ¼. Fractions are for dividing things up (pizza, apple and cakes). Each piece of the shape has to be the same size if it is to be a fraction! To keep our fractions knowledge going we do Keeping Clever! We sometimes have to put fractions in order. We have groups for fractions in maths (triangles to circles).
