Calculator Numbers

Today in maths we looked at the differences between written numbers and the numbers on a calculator. We noticed that written numbers are made up of straight lines and curves and calculator numbers are made using only straight lines. We used pop sticks to recreate the numbers we saw on the calculators. We found that some numbers were easy to recognise and others were little harder. Below are some pictures of us working independently to recreate the numbers.

Week 8

Wow! It's week 8 already. Where has time gone? It's been a little while since the last post ( sorry I've been a little busy!). We have continued our work on the human body. We have learnt about our bones and our digestive system. We have just started learning about are circulatory system. Did you know that your heart is about the size of your fist? We didn't!
For the last couple of weeks we have been looking after the school's chooks. We have to check their water and feed, collect the food scraps from all the classes and collect the eggs. We all love doing this job. This week we got 4 new chickens! They won't lay eggs for a few months, but we are looking forward to having more eggs and being able to sell them for class pocket money. It will be a great opportunity to practice our money skills in a real life situation.
