Calendar Art

Have a look at our beautiful calendar art.
Wonderful gifts for Christmas presents or to send to family overseas.
The children sponged the backgrounds first and then they choose what they wanted on top.
The quote 'Every Child is an Artist' by Piccasso was our inspiration.
Enjoy.

Maths: Repeating Patterns
WALT: to make a repeating pattern.
WALT: to continue a repeating pattern
Today was a beautiful sunny day so we went
outside onto the courts and drew repeating patterns
in chalk on the concrete.
Then we had a go at adding to one of the repeating patterns.
Have a look at our repeating patterns

Happy 6th Birthday Laura and Jacob.

Maths 'Fractions'In Room 9a we having been learning about Fractions for Mathematics.We cut up pieces of fruit and vegetables into halves, quarters and thirds.Then we talked about using half, quarter and thirds in real life.We thought a cooking activity would be a good way to use them so we played the pizza game and borrowed Mrs Dijkstra's fruit and cake to cut up.Then we made play-dough in groups using a recipe that used half and quarter measurement cups.Next we took a plastic knife to cut up our play-dough snakes into half, quarter and thirds. We had lots of fun in maths this week.

Happy 6th Birthday Olivia
