Maths in Room 6

This week our focus in maths has been subtraction. Children are beginning to see patterns in numbers and did a great job completing their number stories independently.

Inquiry

Today we talked about pollination as a follow up to our forest lesson. We made our own bees and pretended to collect pollen and go from flower to flower.

Fun before the forest

Before we headed to the forest we had a fun inquiry lesson on the Wednesday. We started by brainstorming all the things we could do in the forest; we come up with lots of ideas!

Then we were so lucky because Miss Sheehan had kindly been to the forest and collected some pine cones and pine needles for us to paint with.

All the children enjoyed doing their own artistic piece!!

Room 6's Visit to the Forest

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed The Junior Park Explorers Programme delivered by Environmental teachers Chris and Warren at Burwood Forest last Friday. Children had great fun experiencing the wonder of the natural world through activities such as listening to different bird calls, feeling the different parts of a tree and hunting for bugs in their natural habitat.

Trip to the Wetlands

As part of our inquiry we have one more trip - to the wetlands. This trip will be on
THURSDAY 14th SEPTEMBER.
Room 4/5 and 6 will all be going together, it will be a modified (shortened and simplified) version  of what has been delivered to the middle and senior end of the school.

We will also require parent helpers for this trip .

A notice will come home sometime next week.

Calendar Art

Room 5 and 6's calendar art has been completed and been on display for the last few weeks. If you haven't seen your child's work please let your child's classroom teacher know and we will email you a copy.

Order forms will come home within the coming weeks to order copies of your child's art work.

Monday Writing

 Monday's writing in Rm 5 always involves us writing about the weekend. We spend the first part of writing talking in groups about what we get up to. Then we write our own story in our writing books.

Super Students

Miharo (wonderful) effort Islah, Layla, Coby, Kieran, Josh and Te Aika. Your proud faces say it all! We didn't forget you Ellie.

Fairy Bread

As a motivation for writing and part of our geometry unit Rooms, 4,5 and 6 made fairy bread today. We have been learning about halves and to read the symbol for half (1/2). The best part was, of course, eating the bread. Yummy!!
