Technology in maths

As a rotation in Maths we use the laptops for study ladder and the iPads which have maths apps on them.
Both of these resources are fun, but also help us to improve and practice our number knowledge and number strategy. 

Temperature Tellers

We are learning temperature. Today, we went in groups around the school to find the warmest and coldest temperatures. We used the heaters, freezer, ice pack, netball court, the monkey bars and many other places.

In Wearable Arts this week....

We drew out of three containers, three words. With those three words we were to create a costume that was wearable with our given materials.
Here is what we came up with!!!!



First Aid

For our inquiry, Keeping Ourselves Safe, we had Miss Hartleys mum, Officer Jo, come and talk to us about important skills in First Aid.
She showed us what to do when ourselves or someone with us suffered a break, burn, collasied and many other important injuries.
We learnt heaps!!!!!
