Who am I? You may ask?

"Who am I? you may ask" is our movie about ourselves and our identity. It is about us and the things we want to be when we grow older. It is about the things that we are. It teaches us to embrace who we are and the things that make us special. 

We are leaders. We are confident. We are strong! 

We hope you enjoy our movie.

100 numbers for Maths

 Today for Maths, we had a task - TO FIND 100 NUMBERS. 

We had to work in groups and we were given 2 minutes to find the numbers. We had to find the numbers in order (1,2,3,4..) and we had to take turns. 


 


The first time we did it, we didn't find many numbers. The second time we did it, each group got better. After this second time, Kymani found a paterrn - have a look at the pictures below. Can you see the pattern? We then got to do it a third time - and we were even better than the 2nd time.


From this activity we talked about what made us successful.

We all decided that we were successful because we 

- Worked together as a team. This meant that we were taking turns and listening to each other.

- Helped each other out. When it was 1 persons turn, we were all looking for the number to help them.

- Stayed focussed. We were doing the work that we had to do. No one was playing around or mucking about, we all were focussed on the learning. 

- Were patient with each other.

- Listened to each other. 


We will continue to work on these things during our learning time so that we successful!

Home Learning - BAKING STYLE!

We did baking today on our 1pm google meet! It was very busy but also lots of fun. I think it was a bit stressful for the parents but that's okay - they got a yummy slice out of it at the end.

Check out the student blogs for their posts but enjoy this photo of us in the middle of our baking
