Tug of War!!

This is a photo of Totara playing tug of war against Rata.

We were all very focused because  we were short of some players because they were absent from school.  

Test your knowledge of Ratios!

I have learnt that ratios are used when you compare the value of one thing to another. My score reflects my understanding of ratios.

How do you prepare for Advent?

This week we started a module for Advent. As our task we made a poster that teaches what Advent is all about. I created a poster to teach others that Advent is not about the presents and the decorations, it is about preparing for the birth of Jesus.

Face Painting Fundraising Event!

Room 7  has used a new software called Fotobabble to share more of our learning. We had to record  a short speech over the photo to explain what is happening in the photo.

The Disappearing Snacks

It was a nice and sunny Saturday, everyone was outside playing and staying cool. Maddie was on her way over her best friend Alice’s house. Alice and Maddie have been friends since they were 3, they have been through thick and thin together. When Maddie knocked on Alice’s front door, Alice’s little brother Toby opened the door, he is only 4 but he can be really loud.

Maddie headed to Alice’s room, on the way there she said said “Hi” to Alice’s mum. When Maddie entered the room she greeted Alice with a big hug. Alice’s room was not very clean, it hasn’t been cleaned because she’s been too busy practising her speech for the annual speech competition that is  coming up in a couple of weeks.They talked about what they were going to do together today, Alice came up with the idea to go to the movies but Maddie said it was such a beautiful and sunny day that they should not waste it staying inside.

They both decide to go for a picnic in the park. Before they could go they went to go pack  a picnic basket with snacks in it in case they get hungry. Alice’s mum decided to make special sandwiches for the girls to take with them. After they finished packing the basket they left the basket on the table and went to get their shoes. On their way to the park they saw their good friend Paige and they decide to invite her to come with them to go to the park, so off they went.

When they got to the park they laid the blanket down to sit on. When they opened the picnic  basket it was empty. They thought how could this be?! They packed all types of snacks in the basket but they weren’t in there they have disappeared. They were all really confused as to where could the food  could have gone.

They decided that they would go back to Alice’s house for a snack because they were so hungry.

When they got to Alice’s house they found Alice’s little brother Toby eating the sandwiches and all the snacks. It was all clear now Toby must have taken the snacks when they went to get their shoes.They thought it was so funny that for the rest of the day they were rolling in the floor laughing. In the end the girls realised  that they had a pretty awesome day solving the mystery of the disappearing snacks.

Water Transfer!!

 In this experiment we saw the paper towel absorbing the water and transferring it into the other jar. The water was absorbed through the tiny gaps in the paper towel.
