Measurement

On Friday Room 13 completed the Paper Chain Challenge.

There was a lot of collaborative work needed with their buddy.

Which way do we cut?

How thick do our strips need to be?

How big will the links need to be?

Who will cut and who will staple?

Will ours be the longest?

We know that when comparing lengths we have to start in the same place.
We all started our chains on the yellow line.

So many different lengths of chain from the same sized piece of paper.

We learned so many things in our maths today.

Great team work everyone!

Well done to Sophie who has earned her next certificate.

'SH' FOCUS
This week our Better Start phonemic awareness focus was 'sh'.
Today we watched a clip about sharks and read a non-fiction text. After which, we wrote information reports. Here are a few.

Sharks

Did you know that sharks eat little fish and seals? They have lots of sharp teeth. If one falls out, it will grow back straight away.

Also they don’t take care of their babies. They are called pups and the pups survive all by themselves.

Sharks

Did you know that sharks eat little fish and they eat seals too? Sharks have very sharp teeth and sharks use their fins to turn around.

Sharks never stop swimming. If they stop swimming they sink to the ground.

Some sharks are kind too.

Sharks

Did you know that sharks eat all the little fish. Some sharks are big and some sharks are little like a fish.

Sharks live in the deep blue sea.

They can swim very well.

Sharks

Did you know sharks eat any sea animals?

There are about 400 types of sharks.

Sharks have a good sense of smell but sharks have little eyes.

Sharks never stop swimming. If they do, they will drown and die.

Sharks

Did you know that sharks have lots of teeth?

Also they keep moving even when they sleep.

They don’t eat people very often. They just eat seafood instead. When fish are sleeping the sharks eat them. Sharks eat seals too.
