Week 6 update

Well, we have had another busy week as we start to move towards the end of the year.
In Topic we designed play structures and analysed our designs. The class voted to build Zara's giant snakes and ladders board kit and we have been busy sewing our snakes. The class are really enjoying the sewing element and some of our boys are naturals at it! Thank you to parents who sent in bamboo for our ladders.
We have also been bringing in cans for a Christmas project we will be starting next week. If you have not brought one in yet, please try to find one or two over the weekend.
In Maths this week we have been learning about area and volume and doing fun activities to investigate these concepts. We calculated the area of our hands and made a graph out of the data. We also got hold of Mr Radcliffe and worked out the area of his hand. It's pretty big! To practise more at home you could work out the volume of boxes around your house. Remember it's width x depth x height.
In Writing we have been learning to write news articles. Check out the silly headlines and articles in the below post.
Next week is the school picnic and sing along (Thursday 5.30) so we have been practising our two songs for that.
Harrison, Zara and Naomi brought in their recycling homework creations too.
