What is the weather like today?

Ms Tamati taught us last week how to ask what the weather is like.

He aha te auha o te ra?
What is the weather like today?

Using our skills in Paint we made posters to help us answer this question.
                                       

Fractions

 As part of Numeracy at the moment we have been learning about fractions.

Last Friday when our class had muffins the children shared 1 muffin between 4 children, another muffin with 1 other person and 1 muffin to eat by themselves.

We have learnt that fractions are equal so we all get the same amount. With food the children were very quick learners.

Guess the Dr. Seuss book these characters are from

We have brought a few Dr. Seuss characters to life by taking photos and making them into videos.

We wanted to know what shaped kite works best



 When Finn tried to fly his kite it didn’t work. When Mrs Allison held the kite it flew. This is because Mr Allison is taller than Finn. Finn’s kite flew when the wind was behind Mrs Allison. Finn’s kite worked.



Aimee and Claire’s kite flew a little bit but it broke because the kite needed to be more supported. This means that it needed to be a curved shape not scrunched together so the wind doesn’t blow it too far.This kite did not work.
 
It flew really well. The air went in the bag and the wind blew its tail so it looked like a tiny fish swimming in the air. Their kite worked.

Jamie and Emma's kite flew very well. The shorter the string the more tricks it did and the longer the string it went down to the ground. Their kite worked.
