Fractions - Wholey Cow

Mrs Dijkstra read us a maths book entitled " Wholey Cow" We took some ideas from the book. We coloured ice creams and wrote a question eg: What fraction of ice-cream number one is coloured Chocolate chip? What fraction of the butterflies are coloured pink?

Celebrations

As part of our Inquiry about Celebrations we have researched the above questions and compared what features are the same, what features are different between Diwali and Chinese New Year. We also made Rangoli patterns which made our room very colourful.

Birthday cakes

As part of our Inquiry we designed and made a birthday cake using coloured paper. Some of them look good enough to eat.

Pass the Parcel

Our present inquiry topic is "Celebrations" We are currently focussing on Birthdays and today with our buddy class we made Pass the Parcel, a favourite party game. When we returned to the class we played the game. It was fun!

Making ice blocks

At the end of last term we made our own ice-blocks.

Mrs Dijkstra was inspired by Room 13's shape pictures. So Room 24 used shapes to create a symmetrical design on our butterflies. We think they look beautiful!

What happens to the water when our washing dries?

We used fabric felts to colour in our clothes. We then used our drink bottle to wash our clothes and then hung them up to dry. We look forward to seeing if our washing dried over the weekend?
