Math is Fun

In Room 29 we have been looking at making different types of graphs.

We did not know math can be so much fun, until our teacher Mrs. Sidhwa brought small packets of smarties for each and every one of us. That day we had heaps of fun learning and making column graphs, not to mention getting to eat them too.

Here is a slide show for you to see how you can make math fun too. Enjoy !

Welcome to 2011 and a brand new Room 29.

We are an awesome bunch of kids and excited to learn new and interesting things.

This term we are looking at Challenges !

Our favourite quote is, "Co-operate with everybody and compete with yourself"

So, watch this space to hear and see about some of the personal challenges we undertake and overcome/achieve.

Pacific Neighbours Vocabulary

We learnt that we can take a picture of anything on our screen if we just press Command+Shift+4 at the same time! Check out our screen shot of a Wordle we just whipped up!

How to Make a Tapa Cloth

1 vivid
Brown dye
A sketch pencil
A2 black piece of paper
Stapler

Method

1.First you need your A3 white blank piece of paper, which is folded into 8 small rectangles.

3.Once you have got your pattern on your real paper you might need to get some newspaper and put it underneath your work incase vivid goes on your table. You get your vivid and outline everything that is in pencil.

4.After that you need to rub out any pencil that you see. Once you have finished that you need your brown dye and dye the whole thing.

5.Next you wait for it to dry and then scrunch it up to give it the tapa cloth feeling and then you open it up and there you go a tapa cloth.

Discovering our Pacific Neighbours

This week we have been learning about our Pacific neighbours. We have been bringing items from Pacific Islands, such as instruments, costumes, ornaments, photos, books and more. We are very proud of what we have been doing so far. Have a look at these photos to see just how fun it is learning in Room 29, the best class ever!
