Fractions are so much fun!

In room 16 we have been learning all about fractions. We have the difference between the numerator and the denominator. We have looked at where fractions are used, for example, they are used for cooking, baking, time, measuring, to share things such as pieces of pizzas, cakes etc. What have learnt about equivalent fractions which are fractions that are the same. For example, 4/8 is the same as 5/10.

We created visual pizzas showing different fractions. We really enjoyed this activity, it was really fun.  Here are some pictures of our work.

"The more you read the more things you will know. The more that you learn the more places you will go"

 Every Wednesday Room 16 goes to the Library. We love when we visit the Library because we learn so many things. We love reading in our class. Today in the Library we did a few activities. One of the learning activities we did was "My Country Snapshot". This is where the students choose a book about a Country that they are interested in and research more about it. For example, the students learnt about where that country is located on the world map, what the traditional foods are for that country, their popular sports etc. The children really engaged well in this activity and really enjoyed sharing all the new knowledge that they learnt about their chosen country.

Feed our Whanau cooking lesson

                                           

On Thursday the 29th of August 2019 we had SKIDS come visits us and do a feed the whanau cooking lesson with us. They taught us kitchen skills and how to be safe in the kitchen as well as cooking skills. We are privileged to be given goodie bags which had the required ingredients that we needed to cook yummy pasta with our families. We enjoyed working alongside the SKIDS ladies and our classmates and preparing and cooking the yummy pasta dish. The ingredients that we used to make this easy pasta dish were: Broccoli, Garlic, Carrots, cheese, Pasta, coconut cream and black pepper. We really looked forward to sitting down together and eating this yummy meal that we cooked. We look forward cooking this meal at home with our families and sitting down and eating with them and having bonding time with them.  We hope that we get this opportunity to do this again. 

Reading is lots of fun!

Today in Room 16 we had Mrs Tanner our School Principal come and read us a story called "Piggy Book". We used our great active listening skills to listen to her reading to us. It was such an interesting story. The message that we learnt from the text that she read to us was that it is very important to help out around the house. To help out our mum and dad when it comes to the chores around the house such as dishes, vacuuming, cooking, keeping our rooms tidy. We really hope that she comes and visits our classroom again to read to us. Thank you Mrs Tanner.
