It was our turn to run assembly today

We did the announcements

and we showed them our algebra art.

But most of all, they just loved our Toofa Tuffa song, and wished they could do it too!

Joshua got the principals award

We are not too young to help other children

Children in room 2 are not old enough to do the 40 hour famine so we found a different way to help.

On the weekend

On the weekend I played cards. It was called monopoly. Me and Sebastian both won. I enjoyed it. Mum and dad played too. Mum and dad liked it.

Goodbye Mackenzie

Friday was a sad day for room 2. It was Mackenzie's last day. Mackenzie's grandma made us a lovely morning tea.

We hope you enjoy Christchurch Mackenize, and make lots of good friends.

Art

We combined Art with Algebra to make beautiful patterns. We practised our oral language skills by explaining to the class what we liked best about our pattern.

Sophie liked the colours and shapes. Grace liked the triangles because they had 2 colours in each shape and looked nice.

Smokey

Smokey got married with a wild rabbit. Smokey had four baby rabbits. Their names were Noodle and Fatty and Pickle and Muffin. The wild rabbit said "Are you a girl?" Smokey said "yes". The wild rabbit said "I am a boy". The wild rabbit said "Would you like to marry me?" and Smokey said "yes" and she had four babies. I have some photos of the babies.

Algebra Learning Intentions

We are learning to describe patterns, continue a simple pattern and create patterns.
We are learning to predict what the next shape will be in a simple sequence and to identify patterns in number sequences

Starries, Gem swap, Fireworks, and squares are algebra games found at http://www.coolmaths.com/

Term 2 Maths

For maths we are doing Algebra. Algebra is about patterns. We are looking at patterns that repeat

There are patterns in leaves, carpets, wall paper, animals skins, and much more.
