HELLO ISSY!

We just had our assembly on Monday.  On the same day we started swimming and it was Tom’s birthday.  Our new inquiry is Structures.  We wish you could have seen our assembly.  We made postcards and passports for virtual travel to famous structures around the world.  Are there any famous structures in Bali or Indonesia?

Listen to our podcast and find out about our weekly news.  You can make comments after it too.  You will hear about our 350 the school made on the oval using kids (every single person in the school).

Tell us about your school.  How big is your school?  Tell us about your friends there.  What is your teacher’s name?  Do you have assemblies at your school?  Do you have a smartboard in your room?  What does your classroom look like?

Send us your replies soon and we can chat in the comments under this post.

All your friends in Room 6

and Mrs. Veary 😎

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Well done everybody!  You all spoke so clearly in our Assembly this morning and I was so impressed with the way you organised yourselves and remembered who had to be ready to speak or display work.  Your parents must all be very proud of you too.

Sorry to any parents who followed the public noticeboard and missed the assembly item.  If any Mums or Dads have video footage of the item, we’d love a copy to watch and lend to those parents…..?   

If you have any comments about our assembly, post your comment below.

TERM 4 – SWIMMING REMINDER AND ASSEMBLY INVITATION

This is a very busy term and we are already hard at work.   Our key focus this term is on reading for meaning,  multiplication and times tables in Maths, and on showing RESPECT for ourselves, each other and property.

Parents you are invited to our Assembly on Monday (26 October) morning at 9.00 a.m.

Reminder that SWIMMING begins on 26 October and runs for 2 weeks.  Please get your money and notes in this week.

MASON – FINGERS CROSSED

We’re all keeping our fingers crossed that Mason will be able to have his plaster cast removed tomorrow!   He’s been very good at getting about with his crutches but we all know how much he would like to walk with both feet again.  Good luck from Room 6, Mason!

MEASURING MATHS

MEASURING MATHS

Click on these links to practise your measuring of capacity and volume.

Fill these jugs: http://pbskids.org/cyberchase/games/liquidvolume/liquidvolume.html

Balancing shapes on scales: http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks2/maths/weigh/free.htm#

This one you know to measure VOLUME.  Try again to work out how many cubes BEFORE you actually count.   ESTIMATE then CHECK.  (you can try this one on the smartboard together, then alone on your own computer)http://illuminations.nctm.org/ActivityDetail.aspx?ID=6

This one is tricky.  Try the units of measure for length and mass first. http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks2/maths/measures/index.htm
