Loopy Challenge

We Are Learning To: add ten to any number under 100.

Ms Rakich's Math class had a two week challenge to improve our Loopy time. We each had a card with an number that was the answer to somebody elses' question until we had completed the cycle. Our first attempt took 7.49 with a lot of stopping to work out the equations. There were a lot of challenges including not trying to tell people the answers to their questions and Active Listening so we didn't miss our questions. By the end of our second week we had our time down nearly 5 minutes at a speedy 2.56!

Term 1 Integrated Topic - Collaboration & Belonging

Term 1 Statistical Investigation

Putting our engineering hats on- in reading!

Kotuku and Koru readers spent a week learning about Cable Cars from the text “Red Rattlers”. To take our knowledge a step further we used Goldiblox engineering equipment and some regular kiwi DIY (tissues and sellotape!) to recreate the rather complex system of how the cable cars are connected and how they work. The children loved seeing their knowledge come to life and were very fascinated with the Goldiblox equipment.
