Week 9 - Problem Solving

A big well done to Mishaylar today! In maths, we were doing problem solving. Mishaylar was first to come up with the solution for "I have 3 friends and 10 chocolate bars. I want to share them equally with all 3 friends. How many do they get each?" Mishaylar used the pretend chocolates to figure out they get "3 whole bars and one third each". Tino pai Mishaylar!

Here is another group finding a solution to the following problem."I have 3 friends and 5 chocolate bars. I want to share them equally with 3 friends. How many do they get each?" The answer you can see in the image! 1 whole and two thirds each.

Week 8 - Koru Art and Buddy Reading

The term is flying by and we are nearly come to end to TERM 2!

Friday we did Buddy Reading with Room 4 and it was great to see our older students reading to Room 8. Although Jauntae in Room 8 was reading to some of the Room 4 boys!

This week we started our Koru Art! We started by practicing our Koru designs on small pieces of paper and on Friday we started on A3 sheets of paper with our outlines of our Korus! Week 9 we will get the pastels out and start shading them in!
