Times Tables Chart

This week we have been showing our great multiplication skills. 

We started with a empty times table chart.

Then we each chose a times table problem out of a bag and, on a piece of paper we worked it out showing one of the strategies that we have learnt this year like; arrays, skip counting, groups and repeated addition. 

Once we checked this with our teacher we coloured it in and stuck it on the chart. 

We worked so hard to do as many problems as we could and its almost finished, great work Room 13!

Solar Eclipse

Here's a photo of the Solar Eclipse sent in by one of our wonderful mothers. Very cool!! 

Motat Trip

Today we went to Motat and had a look around at all of the exciting exhibitions, learnt about lights and mirrors and went on a tram ride!
Here are a few pictures of the fun we had:

Here we are at the Old Fashioned School. Did you know that back then they weren't allowed to write with their left hands!

It was a very fun day. Thanks Motat! 

Origami

Today we made Origami bunny's using instructions that we made in class.
Here is how to make one:

Step 1 & 2:

Start with a square piece of paper, fold the paper in half to make a triangle 

Step 3:

Fold the paper from right to left to make an even smaller triangle 

Step 4:

Open the paper, you should see a crease in the middle 

Step 5:

Fold the bottom part of the paper slightly up 

Step 6 & 7:

Fold both the right and left sides to meet the crease in the middle 

Step 8:

Fold the bottom tip slightly up and flip over your paper

Step 9:

Fold the top part down away from you and tuck it in between

Step 10:

Draw in eyes, a nose and a mouth 

Then you have yourself a cute origami bunny! 

Check out the ones that we made;

We even made a Harry Potter Bunny and a Super Bunny!
