Multiplication Understanding - 7x

In maths we all worked on out 7 times tables. In the Google Drawing we found out different ways to practice out 7 times tables.

Careers - Doctors

Today for careers, we learnt about doctors and the skill you need to have to become a doctor. We used Popplet to create this presentation and thought of all the jobs that could relate to being a doctor.

Music: Ukulele

For music we did not have Mrs Eeles sadly but the ukulele players from our class gave us a lesson with ukuleles. We played some songs and learnt some new chords. Everybody was playing and enjoyed it.

New Zealand International ShakeOut

Today we did our first International ShakeOut Drill. This is a drill for when a earthquake could happen and we will be prepared and ready.

Buddy Story Swap

It all started yesterday when the kids from school were talking about the abandoned house on the hill and how it's haunted. I didn't know weather to believe them or not, so I went to see for myself. I decided to have a look inside. I slowly crept through the front door. I had feeling something was behind me so I turned around. The door came swing shut just missing my face. Dust flew everywhere which ended me up coughing in disgust. I was really scared of what could happen next, so I tried to look for light or a switch but there was no power. It got colder as took each step. Finding an exit wasn’t as easy as I thought because of all the darkness. I tried to find a way to the the exit but then I saw two red dots staring at me, I went to see what is was. As I got closer, it seemed to get bigger. The hairs on my arms and neck stood up...All of a sudden the red dots went away and the door opened. I ran out thinking of never going back.

Today we learnt a new task that helps us to write good recounts. The task was that each person in the pair take turns writing something that is continuing that last person sentence. We were given a picture that we had to write a recount about in 15 minutes.

Times Table Grid Challenge

Today for maths we played a new game that involved using our times table and measurements. To play the game, we had two dice that we each had to roll. the two number that come up, we then have to put them into a box the same size as the two numbers. For example, if I rolled a 2 and a 3 then I'd have to make a box that is 2 by length and 3 by width, or it could be the other way around. This game was very challenge though we had to fill our whole side to then win the game. It is good with practicing times tables and you could also skip count in the box to check if the box is the right size.

Problem Solving Revision

Today for maths we started on a revision challenge. We started on problem solving. We had to use our subtraction and addition to work the equation.
