Things in the night sky

We have been learning about things in the night sky. We talked about how people use the stars to navigate. We talked about things that people use to help them navigate and created our own telescopes.

Water play

We have been talking about where we see maths around us. Some of us said we only see or do maths in class. The more we talked about it the more we realised that we do maths everywhere.
Here is Room 16 enjoying using measuring cups with our water play.

Sunglasses because our future is so bright!

MORENA EVERYONE!

We made some sunglasses because our future is so bright. We talked about what we wanted to be when we get older. 

Here are some pictures of us with our cool glasses:

"I want to be a singer"

"I want to be a fire fighter"

"I want to be a doctor"

"I want to be a fireman"

"I want to be a cop"

"I want to be a motorcyclist"

"I want to be a ballerina"

"I want to be a cop"

"I want to be superman"

"I want to be in the Army"

C is for colourful!

Room 16's sound for the week was Cc so we were exploring different things that had this sound. We decided to make colourful trees to take home. This wasn't just sound mahi but art and maths too! We had to order our shapes from biggest to smallest and use different colours. We even shared our shapes with others and helped one another.

Tegan's maths resource

In the Holidays Tegan made a new maths resource that helps people learn numbers before and after to 25. She recycled toilet rolls and drew the numbers on them and decorated them with stickers. We had to work together and talk to one another about finding the next number. We were so excited about using our friend's very own maths resource!
We got a little confused about what was 6 and what was 9!
