Easter Challenge

At the end of Term 1 we did an Easter Maths challenge.  Each maths group had to find a plastic Easter Egg that matched their groups colour.  Inside were maths problems that matched what we'd been working on in class.  Panana have been learning to solve addition problems by using doubles.  Aporo have been learning to solve comparison problems.  Arani have been learning to subtract in parts and Ropere have been learning to subtract using place value partitioning! The winners were the first team to find all their eggs and solve all their problems correctly.  Congrats to Ropere who finished first and a special award went to Aporo for being the only team to get all their problems right the first time!






Recount Writing



“What’s that?” we asked Mrs Burnett.  She said “I’m not telling you till the end!” “Ohhhhhhh” I said. First Abigail P got the mysterious thing on her head. She made a weird sound, eeeeeee. She said “that tickles.” We all begged Mrs Burnett to have a turn. “Yes sure,” she said. We all had a turn. “Eeeeee,” I said and while we had that mysterious thing on our head Georgia took photo’s of us. How funny they were!

My heart pounded  as Mrs B showed us a tangled looking object.It looked like a autumn  tree.Then she put it on my head.It scraped some skin off.I went eey  when  Georgia took a photo.After I said to Georgia I am ticklish on my head.

"WOW, what is that?" I said as Mrs B pulled out a mysterious object. "I wonder what it is?" i said. Maybe it's a pumpkin for halloween or maybe it's a thing that you pick up toys with. After that we described what it looked like. I thought it looked like a burnt tree with no leaves. It made a rattly noise. ''Ah, ah, it's my turn" I cried. I giggled lots but it didn't hurt for me. It was soft, smooth, creepy, silky and bendy.

Dynamites Time Capsule

Today the Dynamites got together to put their Term 1 reflections and aspirations for the year in to a time capsule.  Thanks to Mr Benbow for digging a hole for us outside our block.  A year 6 student put the time capsule in the hole (after Mrs B covered it in Duct tape) and then a few students from each class helped cover it up.  Finally everyone in the team got to walk across the spot where it was buried and stamp the dirt down with their foot! I wonder what it's going to look like when we dig it up at the end of the year?
