Jump Rope For Heart Day

Last Friday we had Jump Rope for Heart.  It was our turn after lunch.

We were put into groups and we moved around the different activities on the court and in the Whare.

We had to jump and skip all afternoon.

We were very very tired at home-time.

Our visit to the Expo

Wow there were so many things to see at the Expo!  Here are some of our favourites.

Home School Partnership Expo

Today we have a Home School Partnership Expo to show our parents and friends our work.
Here  are two of our friends making a comment on our blog.
We can't wait until it is our turn to visit after lunch!

Number of the week 13 unlucky for some

This week we are learning about the number 13.

It is too big to make by ourselves so we needed a friend to help us.  

One of us made 10 and the other made 3.

Then we started our 13 book.

Caszius made a rainbow 13.

                                       

 Jono counted all of the animals.  There were 13 rabbits, 13 monkeys and 13 pigs.

 Filipe found all the number 13's

Gideon coloured-in 13 crosses.

Clever Maths

Each day we use our clever maths brains to work out how many people we have at school in Room 11.

Today Isaiah noticed that there were 10 boys on the first bus, because he could see 5 on one side and 5 on the other side.  He knew that 5+5=10.  Then we saw one more boy on the other bus.  That made 11 boys.

Leytton saw that the girls had the same as the first boys bus, so that meant there were 10 girls.

Bella knew we could use our hard doubles to solve our problem.  She knew that 10+10=20.  But we still had one boy on his own bus and Bella knew this meant that we had 21 children at school today.

Aren't we clever!
