Maths Measure Posters

These maths posters are showing what we have learn't about measurement. This was a homework task.We all went on a link from the blog and chose and area to study and then design a poster on. Our options were measurement,liquid and weight.They look very cool and they are now on the wall in Whio class.
Did you know that 1 litre = 1000 millilitres and kilometres are used to measure long distances like roads, 20 drops of water =1 teaspoon,  and there are 10mm in 1cm.

Reflection wall

Each day we use the reflection wall to reflect on what we have learnt or achieved. There are cloud shaped bits of paper that we can write our reflections on.
This helps us become better learners. By Tom and Joey.

Our Food Chain Posters

In science we have been learning about the rocky shore we have also been making food chains and food webs showing who eats what on the rocky shore.
 The sun gives energy to the plants (producers) and seaweed then the herbivores eat  the plants and the carnivores eat the herbivores. Here are some photos of our work.

Measurement Madness!

In Whio class for maths we have been doing measurement. Some groups have been measuring area and perimeter, others an activity called 'size me up'. This has involved  measuring arms, feet, around our head and seeing if there were any relationships between the measurements.
We found out that your nose is the same size as your thumb, the span of your arms is the same as your height and your foot is the same size as your forearm. These are a few photos of some of us at maths, check it out!
