Maths in Room 5

We have been a little quiet this week but we have been working really hard in Maths working together in small groups to solve from tricky problems.

Can you solve the problem?

50 Toes Sam likes counting toes. How many people does he need to count 50 toes?

Sounds Like Fun!

Our sound this week has been /ch/.

We found lots of words that have /ch/ in the beginning, in the middle and at the end.

Can you hear all the /ch/ sounds in our poem?

WHANAUGATANGA

Whaea Toni came into Room 5 last week and talked to us about Whanaugatanga and what  it means to belong to a group.  The children created these amazing pieces of art that represent their whanau.

We love writing!!

In Room 5 we work really hard to sound out all the words we are writing in our stories.

We listen really carefully to the word we want to write and write all the sounds we can hear.

Buddy Class

Time with our Buddy Class today was spent working on our Kapahaka songs.

Friday's in Room 5

We are always so busy on a Friday but we always have a great time.

Ms. Bonsey was so proud of all of us during Poly Club - we were great listeners and gave 100%.

Exploring 10

Today in Maths we explored the number10!

We collected 10 things from around the classroom and then together we skip counted in 10's to see how many things we had collected.

Keeping Track of our Days

Each day we talk about how many days we have been at school.  We talk about the number and how many groups of ten and how many ones make up that number.

We can't wait till we have been at school for 100 Days...

Buddy Time with Room 9

It's been a busy Week!

So many things have been going on in Room 5 this week, a trip to the Zoo, Poly Club, Kapahaka, Assembly, sharing stories with Room 13 and finally today working with our Buddy class, Room 9.

We worked together moving our octopus from the land to the ocean and writing our equations as we went and looking at the patterns.

We then made Octopus and added their 8 tentacles and wrote the numbers 1-8 and matched the correct number of dots.

Thanks for working with us Room 9 it was great fun.
