Week 4 - Maths Week Ponder

Kia Ora Bloggers,

This week we are participating in Primary Science Maths week.  You can find out more by visiting this website: www.mathsweek.co.nz.   There are heaps of exciting activities and challenges to complete.  The books that we are reading this week will also look at different parts of Maths.  

Today, we started the article Amazing Algorithms.  It got us thinking about what algorithms are and how often we use Maths every day.  This week, our blog ponder is to think about the times that we use Maths during our day.  

Have a think and add your ideas to our blog ponder. Remember to think carefully, add your ideas in one post in a Cybersmart way and then get a buddy to check your comment before you post.  We look forward to reading your ideas

Week 3 - Shadows and Light ponder

Over the next two weeks, Kaiwhare class will be learning about light and shadows. We have started by exploring some journal stories, experiments and online activities on Sciencekids.co.nz.   We also have a blog ponder to share our knowledge and ideas. Please contribute to our online discussion in a Cybersmart way. Remember to have a buddy check your post to see that it makes sense and that you have used punctuation correctly.

Week 6 - Playdoh Creations

Kia Ora Bloggers,

We have had a great week reconnecting with each other in our classes.  It has been a very creative week for us.  One of our challenges was to use our own packet of playdoh and prompts on this slide deck to get building and making.  As you can see, we had lots to explore and do.

Our final challenge was to sculpt something to represent something that we did while we were away from school.  You can see these creations in the slideshow below.  Please take some time to read the thoughtful explanations with many of these creations.

We would love to hear what you think. Please leave us some positive, thoughtful and helpful comments below.
