Treasure Hunt

This week as part of Maths we have been learning all about giving and reading directions.  So for Maths Sally thought it would be fun for us to create our own treasure hunt.

First we had to draw a birds eye view map of a playground.  The Year 3's drew the junior playground whilst the Year 4's drew the adventure playground.  We then had to write instructions using the compass points.  Last of all we hid our treasure and then gave our treasure map and instructions to our buddy so they could find their treasure.

Reomation

Recently we watched a Reomation about a little mouse who explored a classroom.  Check it out here http://hereoora.tki.org.nz/Unit-plans/Unit-2-Akomanga/Reomations/Ka-oreore-nga-kiore-The-mice-are-stirring

We really loved this animation so Sally thought it would be fun to make our own.

We story boarded our script and wrote out our sentences in Te Reo.  Well done to Camryn and Lucy's and  Willem and Nico's animation as their animation was selected to be filmed.

We recorded the story in Te Reo, however, when Sally went to put it all together she found it didn't quite work.  So here is our animation with a catchy soundtrack instead.  Enjoy!

Fun learning in Room 5

What a busy week we've had.  Check out all the great learning that has taken place in Room 5.

We have been learning all about writing and following instructions.  On Monday we made Rice Bubble Cupcakes.  The Slinky Sea Otters read a recipe about making crispy wedges so today they were lucky enough to make them for their lunch.

On Wednesday we had another volleyball session with a man from Nelson Volleyball.  

In Maths we have been learning all about tesselations.  We had fun making tesselations with shapes, drawing them on whiteboards and making them with playdough.  

 
Today we carried out some research about the different types of playdough we made.  We are surveying classes from each syndicate.  We asked them what their favourite colour and scent they liked most.  We also asked them if they liked the glitter in the playdough.
