Problem

Moana set her digital watch at 13:00:00 on the last day of April. Unfortunately the watch loses 11 seconds a day. What is the time on Moana’s watch when it is 13:00:00 on the last day of May?

How long until Christmas?

Week 10 - Phoebe

Hi my name is Phoebe and I am the class leader this week. 

This week we completed our  Collage and poster for the Ferrymead topic. 

Yesterday, while Mrs Brunton was at a Math Course, we had Mrs Guise teaching us, and  Mary, the music lady, came in and played some music games with us.

For handwriting we are learning to do flicks on our lower case letters.  

This week we had the finals of the poetry competition.  Cassidy from Room 19  came third, Ethan came second and Finn came 1st. They are both in Room 27. 

We are doing some activities around the Kidsfest catalogue for reading and writing. 

We also had a fitness test with Mr McKenzie. We ran 850m and had to better our time from Term 1.  

Have a great weekend

Week 9

Hi,  I am Dylan and this week I am the class leader. 

This week we celebrated Matariki, Aotearoa New Year. 

Our Buddy class came to see us today and we gave them cards that we had made and wind mills (titi parerera) out of flax (harakeke). We brought food for a shared morning tea and some games from home to play. 

We also had a turn of making a  purerehua. It was once used by Maori to signal people when they were far away. 

On Thursday I got the Heart of Achievement awerd IT WAS MY LAST ONE. Now I am going shopping with Mrs Warren.

Week 8

Hi, my name is Helena and I am the class leader this week. 

This week our class have been practicing our poems for the 'Poem Competition' next week. We are learning to use expressive voices and gestures to go with our poems. 

For art we have been doing collage about the olden day things to tie in with our 'Ghanges Unit.' 

For reading we have to read a story from a journal and draw pictures in little boxes about it, when we have finished drawing the pictures we write about what we drew. This is called a story map. 

A couple of days ago there was a choir performance. Lots of people came to see it and the school was invited to hear them this morning. They did a great performance. Finn and Joey are in the orchestra.
