Ki-o-Rahi Rm 11 v Rm 14

Last term, as part of Room 11's Inquiry into Matariki they had been learning to play the traditional Maori game of Ki-o-Rahi based on the story of Rahi and the Patupaiarehe.  Room 11 taught us the game, unfortunately they were too good for us this time, but now we know how to play the game I am sure we will give them a better run for their money next time we play, because 'Everything is awesome

Everything is cool when you're part of a team!'

We have started a new topic for Mathematics about Fractions.  

Today we talked about because we knew... 

1/2 of 10=5 we also knew...

1/2 of 30=15     1/2 of 6=3     1/2 of 12=6     1/2 of 18=9     

   1/2 of 20 = 10                      1/2 of 100 = 50

   1/2 of 40 = 20                      1/2 of 1 000 = 500

   1/2 of 80 = 40                      1/2 of 10 000 = 5 000

 1/2 of 160 = 80                      1/2 of 100 000 = 50 000

 1/2 of 320 = 160                    1/2 of 1 000 000 = 500 000...

 1/2 of 640 = 320

1/2 of 1 280 = 640

1/2 of 2 560 = 1 280...

1/4 of 10 = 2.5     1/2 of 10 = 5     3/4 of 10 = 7.5 so...

1/4 of 1 = 0.25     1/2 of 1 = 0.5     3/4 of 1 = 0.75

Welcome back to Term 3

Hi everyone, welcome back to Term 3.  As always we have a lot planned for this term.  We will be hitting the ground running with Fractions, Decimals and Percentages for Mathematics.  We will be doing some creative writing pieces, looking forward in time to what we think we will be like in 30, 50 years time.  

Homework for Week 1 is on the page above.

Open Day

I hope everyone is having a great holiday.  I have uploaded 

a lot of our work from Open Day onto a new page.  Click on

Room 14 Inquiry Project

During our Reading and Inquiry activities we looked through a lot of information about the ANZAC’s and their campaign at Gallipoli.  

Click on the link below to not only take a look at all of the information that we discovered, but how we went about finding, sorting and presenting information.
