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...

Here we have Zachery one of our tallest boys with Phaydon and Ariana who are about the same height and Tiger who is  one of our shortest boys.....big smiles all round.

 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.

PUTTING THEORY INTO PRACTICE!!!

INSTRUCTIONAL WRITING....

This week Room 16 had the chance to do some practical making. For the last couple of weeks we have been doing some instructional writing so we thought why not try making them. 


So as a class we decided to make TOASTIES.  

Check out what we did ....

WEEK #3 ART WITH WHAEA DAGMAR

This week room 16 along with 2 students form room 14 had the privilege  of working with Whaea Dagmar who is our Art and Technology teacher.

Students were able to  create their own 'underwater' work based a study of a visual text. 

They then had to create two drafts before embarking on their final pieces of art; to be completed in chalk, pastel and dye. 

All students thoroughly enjoyed themselves and manage to all complete their pieces of art which are now displayed in the hall.  

Take a look at our work in progress...
