Creating and Innovating

Today we had an amazing cake challenge to design a birthday cake that was bright and colourful!

We worked in teams of 4 with all of the same equipment and ingredients and it was really cool to see the different products at the end of the challenge.

We have some top bakers in the making!

Discovery Time

Today our Discovery Time was all about Thinking About Thinking.

Our activities included making straw boats, balancing our weight on paper cups, making 6 triangles with ten toothpicks and making a nest that can hold an egg.

Here are some pictures of us making our nests using materials we found outside of the classroom.

W.A.L.T...Set S.M.A.R.T goals for our learning

1.Reading

This term my goal for reading is to move up from level 24 to 26. I will do this by retelling the story I was reading.

2. Writing

This term my goal for writing is to move up from  2B to 2P. I will do that by writing at home and using similes in my writing.

Assembly

Last week we held a very successful assembly at school. Our whole class was on stage to perform a Sasa that we had created for our study of Samoa. To create the Sasa and learn the moves we had to be extremely persistent and make it right.

Have a look at a video we created about learning the Sasa during the week.


Discovery Time

Today our Discovery Time was all about Questioning. We were posing questions to help us solve problems and create things in class. Check out the list of activities and some of us in action.
