Rugby Skills

We had our first rugby skills lesson today.

Perimeter

We've been doing some learning about perimeter.

What is perimeter? We now know it is the outside  measurement of a shape.

Today's challenge was to work together to make a shape with the largest possible perimeter first using 6 squares, and then 9 squares.

We noticed a pattern, for every new square we add, we increase our perimeter by 2. Using our pattern we made a prediction about the largest possible perimeter we could make as a class. We tested our prediction and discovered our thinking was right.

Great maths lesson today Room 13!

We are unique

We are building stronger relationships with one another by learning to appreciate our differences.

We created shields using google drawing to communicate what makes us unique as well as our class.

Our Digital Foot Print

Today Mr. V. visited our class to help teach us about what a digital foot print is.

We learnt that we need to have a positive digital foot print - what is a positive digital foot print?

The things that we post online can be there for a very long time. We need to make sure that the things that we do online are appropriate for our audience, because they will be there for a very long time!

Visualisation

We have discovered the into the book website after getting our key codes we started to explore visualisation. We are looking at how carefully selected words help the reader to create a movie in their minds. We want to create movies for our readers with our writing.

Vision testing

Today we had our vision tested by students from Auckland University.
