Highlights from Term 3 Maths

Check out the some of the things we have been learning about in Mathematics this term.

Coding with Scratch Junior

We are learning about computational thinking by coding using Scratch Junior.

We know how to choose a background, choose characters and to use some of the Motion Blocks to make our characters move.

Today our mission was to create a scene with our character jumping. To do this we learned about the Motion Hop Block. We also learned how to use a loop block to repeat the action.

This is Bryton's animation.

Spidery Playdough

 On Friday we made some playdough and when we were finished we created spiders with our playdough.

We made spiders because we have been learning the 'sp' blend and our poem this week was Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Matariki

We have been learning about Matariki. We learnt the names of the Matariki stars and how and why Matariki is celebrated. We listened to some Matariki stories and created our own wishing stars.

Pirate Polly

Room One have been reading a book called Pirate Polly. After we finished reading the book we talked about where Pirate Polly may have gone and what she might have done next. Then we wrote a story about Pirate Polly's next adventure.

Monster Madness

We decided to combine writing and art this week. We created monster pictures using dye and vivid and wrote stories about our monsters.

Measuring, sequencing and pattern making

Here are some pictures of the maths Room One have been enjoying during term 2.
