Maths Games





Our teacher made up some new games for us to play to help us practise our counting.  It was called 'Cat and Mouse'.  One player started in the bottom corner and was the cat and the other player started at the top and was the mouse.  Each player rolled the dice and moved their playing piece with the cat trying to catch the mouse and the mouse trying to run away from the cat.  The cat won mostly.

Working Hard Again In Term 4

What's My Question


















Our literacy rotations keep us interested in our learning.  Here we are playing word games.  They are Compound Word Search, Memory and What's My Question.  Compound Word Search has us looking to join 2 words together to make a new word, like to and night make tonight.  In memory we are trying to match 2 words together, but we have to remember where they are.  In What's My Question, there are answers written on the cards and we have to think of what the question might have been.  For example, the question to I have 5 brothers would be How many brothers do you have?

We have iPods!!!

 






All the other classes in the school are very jealous of us because we have iPods.  Our teacher collected them on the holidays for us to play maths and literacy activities on in class.  How cool is that!!

Making sausages Video

Here is a little video showing how we helped make the sausages.




Making Sausages

This term we have been travelling around the world and studying the food that is eaten in different countries.  We have had damper from Australia, fried rice from Malaysia, korma from India, BBQ from South Africa.  Today we got to make sausages.  First we started by mincing the meat and then we helped pipe the mince into sausage skin.  Tomorrow we are going to cook them and see if they are any good.

Hail Mary


We learned the meaning behind the prayer 'Hail Mary'.  We all knew the words but didn't know what it all meant.  Now we know that we are asking Mary to pray for us and to help us to come closer to God.
