Fun Friday

We had lots of fun today learning new things. 

First, we had some maths problem-solving activities to do.  The activities challenged our thinking.

We used skip counting and counting on to find out the answer to this question.

We read a very funny poem written by Spike Milligan called 'On the Ning, Nang Nong'. It was very funny and we enjoyed drawing a picture to illustrate the characters in the poem. 

Harmony liked the part where the monkeys went Boo!

We also learnt how to do some algorithmic thinking. We did this by using code to make animals race each other. We tested our race challenge to make sure it worked. Next week we will challenge each other and try and predict who will win the race.

We ended the day with fun Hapu games that the Yr 6 house captains had organised for us. We had to do all the games inside because it was raining AGAIN! 

We really enjoyed the cup challenge and go noodle dancing. 

Ruma Kotuku explores MEDIA

 We learnt that media can be signs, pictures, sign language, clocks, our voice, books and computers. We used our iPads to take photos of things in our classroom that are media. We went outside and made a recording about the photos we had taken. Finally we drew a picture of ourselves communicating. We learnt that media is everywhere. Have you seen all the banners about voting? They are a good example of media.
