Making Mothers Day Cards

0 comments
Posted in Labels: , , ,


Last week, Room 3 made beautiful Mothers Day Cards. We all got four bits of paper and followed Miss Wesley's instructions until we came up with seven flowers glued together in a 3D pop up. We then glued them into a card so that when you opened the card they popped out at you. Most of us used too much glue to put our flowers together, luckily this was just a test run. When we were confident enough to start our real copy, we chose which colour paper we wanted and got to work. In the end they turned out great. All the mum's loved them and wanted to know how we made them. Check out our blog to see a powerpoint of how to make them.

Ten room three students attended the Combined Otorohanga Primary Schools Mathletics Competition today. Although we didn't gain any of the top three places, it was a great learning experience for the students. Well done Max, Samuel, Kahnn, Holly, Kayla, Anna, Sharnay, Christopher, Jamie and Devinn.

A huge congratulations to Anna, Samuel, Christopher and Grayson who represented our school the Waikato Intermediates Cross Country after competing at the Small Schools then the Combined Otorohanga Primary Schools (COPS)x-country. Look at these fantastic results. Although only a year 6, Samuel ran in the year 7 competition at Waikato as they do not run the year 6's, so a fantastic effort Samuel. Look out next year's competitors!!

Our school entered a colouring competition run by Te Wananga o Aotearoa to celebrate Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori. Anna from room 3 got second place in the year 7 and 8 section. Davina and Tiaki from Te Wananga o Aotearoa paid a surprise visit to Anna at our assembly on Friday the 3rd to present her with her wonderful prize. They also very generously gave Otewa School the opportunity to choose some books from their extensive book selection. Kaitoa Anna.


Kia ora Te Wananga.

Today our maths group was down with Miss Wesley and we were learning about algebra. We were working out of a figure-it-out book. We are looking at triangular numbers and how to find out the formula that would give us the answer no matter how big the base of the triangle is. Sometimes it's easier to use 'x' or another letter in the equation to represent a number. This number is called a variable.

Fractions

Last term we did a fractions unit for maths. At the end, the class used photostory to document some of their learning. To do this they also had to use the easispeak microphones. This week we have been tidying these up for publication. We still are not sure how to stop the voice tracks from fading off at the ends.
