Orienteering

Today for Orienteering we had to follow the map to finish our letters on our paper. This week we had to work individually while using our mapping skills from previous weeks. 

Duffy Theatre T3

Today was the first day of term 3. In the last block, we had Duffy Theatre. First when the classes entered the hall the performers introduced themselves and who they would be playing during the show. The show was about a boy named Duffy who was on a mission to save a man named Bill from being killed in World War 2 .  However, Duffy does face consequences  during his time in the past. In the end he does help his friend Ruby, go to school and learn how to read. The show was very funny and was very creative. 

Life Education

Today the Y6s had Life Education. We talked about Self Esteem and the qualities of a good friend. We played a game where Nichole (Life Education Teacher) called out a number and we had to clap that many times. We had lots of fun playing. The Nichole, showed us a clip called Bonnie in the middle. We discussed what the emotions where in the clip.

Area multiplication

In LS1 today, we learned about area and how to calculate the size of the area using times tables. We did this by playing the Area Multiplication game, after Mr Wong taught us about area. In this game a player rolls dice to find numbers to multiply. They then have to draw the corresponding rectangle on grid paper. The winner is the player who gained the most area.

This game was able to help out several different groups of people in the class. Some of the class are practising skip counting, others are memorising their times tables, and everyone needed to learn about area. The challenge for everyone after playing the game was to see if anyone could figure out the area of a triangle. I wonder how many students used Google to find the method...
