Matariki

During our learning about Matariki we made a Manu Aute, a Maori Kite. We used the toetoe plant to make our Manu Aute. We then embellished our kite with our Term 3 goals. We are hoping to soar to new heights with our learning in Room 5.

Exploring the number line - well exploring between 0 and 1 on the number line!

Today for maths we had a discussion about whether there were any numbers between 0 and 1 on the number line. At first, everyone was quite adamant that there were not any numbers between 0 and 1, but then we remembered a couple of weeks ago the temperature at 7am in Auckland was 0.8 degrees! So we explored where 0.8 would go on the number line. We plotted some other numbers like 0.5 and 0.2 then we talked about fractions and where would they go on our number line? We found this quite a challenge but we enjoyed listening to each others ideas about where the numbers should go. It wasn't easy but it was very satisfying when we could see our work! Here are some pictures of our number line work.(btw - please excuse the mess in our classroom - we've been very busy!)
