Birthdays

This week we figured out everybody's birthday dates and when their birthdays are. We did a graph where we had to colour in a cake and then stick it on to the chart. We had to colour it in Mrs Kelly's standard. We found out that March has the most birthdays and April has the least. No one has a birthday in April. Two people have already had their birthday this year. By Kendall

Daily 5

What a great start the children have made with Daily 5, our new literacy program. They have been working on 'Read to Self' and they have been building up their reading stamina a little more each day. The children know that the best way to become a better reader is to practice, practice, practice! They have been choosing books carefully to make sure that the books in their individual boxes are a 'good fit' for them. Today they managed 10 minutes of uninterrupted reading and I think they could have carried on for longer. Well done team!

A new school year!

Our new school year has begun and what a great start everyone has made. Room 15 is going to be such a cool class this year. Welcome to Sam, Nivae, Hunter, Annalise, Meihana, George, Kase, Holly, Olivia, Jack, Logan, Rosa, Catelyn and Zoe. I'm so pleased to have you in the Room 15 Supreme Team!

How many children would fit in our classroom?

This is the problem Room 15 had to solve in Maths this week. Here is Catherine to explain how we did it...We had to find the area of the classroom to see how many kids can fit in so we made some square meters out of newspaper.Then we laid them down one side of the classroom and found that it was eleven meters that way and then did the same down the other which made seven.We know that seven times eleven is seventy seven.So that we could finish the problem we found how many children   could fit on one square meter.After squishing thirteen kids on we worked out that thirteen times seventy seven was one thousand and one!Thats a lot of kids that can fit in our classroom.
