Year 3 & 4 2018

Every Friday, Room 14 does Math's Problem Solving. Last weeks challenge was that the children had to make a paper tower that held a tennis ball. It was an interesting exercise with lots of outbursts of frustration!! However, the children persevered, trying new ways and listening well to each others thoughts. They worked in small groups so they were building on their cooperative skills as well.  You're not holding the tennis ball on are your Braedyn?? The learning tower of Mairehau?? Good thinking guys. You took one storey off and hey presto, your tower held up the tennis ball. Ka pai!!

In week 1 we got a new child from Australia called Jack in Room 7.  For Inquiry we wrote our favourite thing, least favourite thing and our most interesting thing about the playground. We  used  ipads and took photos of the equipment on the playground.                                                         We could use any playground.   We worked in our inquiry book.                               we could work on any playground, little,                                  medium or big.  T his is the double bars and a lot of people  like them.  In the picture is Yishay, Charlie, Blake and Kalo. We were pleased to be back at school and to catch up with our friends.
