Fractions with Mrs McGregor

Fractions with Jellybeans - great motivation!

Room 13 looked at weather reports on you tube and then had a go at writing our own.

Here are some of them.  Enjoy

The Autumn Leaf by Georgia

My autumn leaf was laying on the ground. I just had to get it. It’s black brown on the top and light brown on the bottom. It was sitting under a Nikau tree. When I was looking closely,

It was green and red.

There was lots of yellow and green leaves. 

My Leaves

I found my Leaves under a shady tree,

They hid their colours from me.

I saw their colours and took them to class with ME!

 Their colour background is orangy-red

and spotted with apple green,

lemon yellow and dirt brown

in between.

I hope to meet you all over the next few weeks!

From Day to Night to Day again - By Hayley Spick

Did you know that the sun never moves but the earth does?

It takes 24 hours before it rotates back to the same place.  The earth has something through the middle of it thats called an axis. The axis' job is to help the earth spin around the sun.

How does it become Day to Night?
The axis spins the earth so while we're playing, on the other side of the world people are sleeping. 


At sunrise to sunset
Earlier in this explanation I said the sun never moves but what happens at sunrise and sunset?  Well, the sun never moves but actually we do!  At sunrise we are half facing the sun and half not.  So at 4 O'Clock it is half night and half day.  At sunset it is day coming into night.  

So that's how it become day to night to day again!

Statistics

Rom 13 have started learning about Statistics.  We created a Pictogram today.  First we gathered data about our favourite colours and we made it into a graph.  Next we made statements about our display.  

Gummi Bear Challenge

The Gummi Bear gondala was broken.  Room 13 had to design a new gondala so that the Gummi Bear famiy could travel from the top of Gummi mountain to the bottom (Beachlands).  We worked in buddies to make a gondala.  Have a look at our designs.

Hanging out with the girls on the last day of school.

We love Grandparents Day

We had a great day, making poppies, creating artwork, challenging our grandparents with maths games, reading our writing and of course - eating lunch.  We even got to hear the bagpipes!
