Buddy Class

Fun with Room 5

On Thursday afternoon  we had a blast with our big buddies in room 5. We have been learning about directions in maths, so we put it to test in a game of blindfold trust.  Our big buddies gave us directions and we had to move forward, backwards, left and right.  We are pretty good at our left and rights now!

Afterwards we had a game of dodgeball.

Thanks room 5.

 

Boats

Researching about Boats

We have been researching all about boats.  We have been learning about how they float, famous boats and the different types of boats we will find on rivers, lakes and the sea!

We published our wonderful writing and it now sits in our library corner.

Well done room 1, fabulous research!

Burger Day

Inquiry time

Boat making

We having been learning about boats and why objects float, so on Thursday afternoon we decided to have a go making our very own pirate ships.

First we secured rubberbands around 3 corks.  Then we made our pirate sails using black paper.  We had to make sure the Jolly Roger was drawn on first! Next we secured our sails to the cork base using a toothpick. We drew patterns on our boats with pens and secured a coloured flag on the top of the mast.  Then they were ready for sailing. 

maths time

Learning all about 2d and 3 d shapes

We have been learning all about shapes this week.  We looked at common flat and solid shapes and their features. We talked about 3 d objects that are around us.  We made 2 d shapes using the geoboards and created pic collages about them. Great maths learning room 1!

Learning about coordinates

Maths Time

On Friday we looked at reading coordinates on maps.  We got with our buddies and each had a go at plotting coordinates on a treasure map.  You are great map readers room 1 and you would be great at finding the treasure!

Pirate Day

Shiver Me timbers!

On Wednesday we had Pirate Day.  We all looked and sounded like wonderful pirates.  We had sword fights in the playground.  Some of us even tried to cut the duty teachers leg off, but luckily didn't succeed! In the afternoon we participated in some wonderful pirate activities with the rest of the school. Thanks for a great day.
