EVERY DROP COUNTS!!!

This week ROOM 16 created a water pledge on how to save water as a Class and as a Whanau.  

We even had a 2 minute challenge for taking a shower and found out that 2 minutes is a long time and that you can save water by having 2 minute showers.   

Check out our Class and Whanau/Family Pledges.

WK#5 LEARNING IS FUN...

For Maths this week room 16 have been looking at Measurement and different ways in which everyday objects or subjects could be measured wither it by km, mm, cm, L, minutes, hour(s) you name we will try it...

So to kick off our Maths this week we looked at different things that can be measured.

We looked at height, hand span's, shoe sizes we even looked at ways in which water could be measured.

We made a chart with our predictions and guesses of how many cups of water it would take to fill up certain containers.  


Check it out...

 Different heights in Room 16


The taller bunch...



We even looked at the length of hair between our girls.
Left/Right:  Leah with the shortest and Adriana with the longest hair.

So students in room 16 wanted to know what container would hold the most volume of water.
Each student had the chance to guess what they thought the right about would be using cups and their way of measuring the volume.  





 So which container do you think will hold the most water?????.....
We will update you with the results during the week.
