A Moment in Time

We wrote these thoughts as if we were looking out of the window of an aeroplane.

My Adventure in a Plane

I can hear the pilot talking to us.  His voice is loud and croaky.

I can see some small houses and some fluffy clouds.

I feel happy because it is my first time in a plane.

I wonder how they drive the sparkly plane?

The Amazing Plane

I can hear the small propellers on the side.

I can see the metal wing.

I feel confident because I know the pilot won’t crash.

I wonder what is going on in the blue, shiny sea down below?

By Reuben

The Magic Plane

I can hear the rumbling when I’m landing on the ground.

I can see the fluffy, white clouds and the tiny houses and the white plane wing.

I can see the sparkling sea.

I feel sad and nervous because we might crash land.

I wonder what is in the shiny, blue sea?

By Juel

The Jetting Plane

I can hear the rumbling engine.

When we land I will hear the bumping aeroplane.

I can see the fluffy, sparkling clouds.

I feel excited because there are ipads on the squishy seat.

I wonder how they drive the Air New Zealand plane?

By Louie

My Get Away

I can hear the noise of the screeching wheels.

I can see the white wing of the plane.

I feel the plane tipping.

I wonder when the plane is going to stop?

I wonder what it is like to be a pilot?

Maths - Fractions

 We have been learning about fractions.  We know what fraction of our pizza we ate and what fraction of the pizza is left.

We have been using our interactive board to help us learn what fractions equal the same.

This week we have been using the thinking tools of De Bono's Thinking Hats.  We have used the hats to help us discuss and write on the topic of "Milk in Schools".

Our Daily Milk

This week we have been lucky enough to start the "Milk in Schools".  We have all loved the milk and we are learning how to fold our cartons to help with the recycling

Rectangles Maths Group

The clever children in the "rectangle" maths group have been learning how to solve subtraction problems by rounding down to the next whole ten and then subtracting the remaining amount.  Here are some of their working out and use of this strategy.
