In Room 10 and 11 during our maths time we maths rotations.

Maths rotations are when we do different activities doing maths.

The activities we do are

: Spatial Awareness

This activity is fun because you get to do lots of activities using the blocks and following instructions from the cards. Jayden CB

: Logic Games

These are strategy games where you have to follow the instructions carefully. Cat and Mice is one of the games I like to play. Naomi

: Card and Dice Games

Card and dice games are like games where you use cards or dice games, these games help us get quicker and faster at recalling maths facts. Charlie

: Logic Puzzles

Logic Puzzles are cool you can a lot of different things, it makes your brain work hard. Cefiro

: Sunshine on Line

Sunshine Online is on the computer and it is one of our favourite activities, there are different activities you can do that are all about maths. Ollie

: Basic Facts

For basic facts there is a container full of different basic fact sheets and we choose one to do and we figure out the answers. When we finish one we get another one. When we pack up we glue them into our books. Tina

: Addition and Subtraction Games

Addition and subtraction games make your brain think and jog your memory. They help us get quicker at plus and takeaways. Ryan

: Measurement Activities (That’s our strand topic for Term 1)
For measurement activities we practice using different things to measure with. Christina

Doing the maths rotations is a fun way to practice our maths skills and make choices about who we would like to work with.

Zirka Circus

In the weekend I went to the Zirka Circus with Andrew, Steven and Mrs Larsen.

We went at 4.30pm and we sat on the elevated seats at the back.

We saw acrobats, clowns and aerial performers.

They were very clever and I was amazed at what they could do.

My favourite bit was when the big swing came out and the performers where thrown into the air, they did a flip and landed on a big mat.

There were children performing who would be about the same age as the children in Rooms 10 and 11. I know they would spend a long time rehearsing, as well as having to do their school work.

Before we went into watch the circus we got fizzy drink, popcorn and candy floss. The popcorn was really tasty and the candy floss melted like magic in my mouth

Parts of Plants

For Inquiry we have been learning about the different parts of plants you can eat.

I discovered that you can eat lots of different plant parts. You can eat different parts of plants like the stem, the leaves, the roots, the seeds and the flowers.

I thought it was interesting that plants are healthy for us to eat.

I thought that it was interesting that I could add mint leaves to water to flavour the water.

I also found it interesting that plants have different defenses to stop animals eating them like the skin of an orange or a mandarin, or the shell of a peanut or a walnut.

My favourite plant part is the root, leaf and stem – I love leeks and onions
