Money, Money, Money!


We've been learning all about money for the last two weeks so our maths stations today had money everywhere! 

We had a bank (for exchanging coins), a shop, a money matching game and the good old Rekenrek (bead bars). 

It was a great day of learning!

Money Monsters!


We were making 'Money Monsters' in visual art today! We used coins of different denominations to make rubbings of the different parts of the monster's body. It was a little tricky at first but we got the hang of it after a minute or two! 

Check out the pictures of us working here!










 


Enterprise Day


Today was Enterprise Day! The 5th classes had been busy as bees doing market research, developing their products and engaging in a huge scale production. Today was the day we got to finally see their wares! 


Check out the photos of our visit to the market.

It was extremely good fun!

100th Day of School!


Today was our 100th day of school! We did lots of things about the number 100 to celebrate - we made a 100 Name Square, drew 100 things and even had a whole school maths competition to see who had the best estimation skills! 


One of the girls in an older class even made a 100th Day sign out of Lego in her house last night and brought it in to show everybody! 





At the end of the day, we counted to 100 with this video. 
   




 It was super fun!


Where Does My Food Come From?


For the last few weeks, we've been learning all about people who work in our community and especially farmers. 

Today, we put our knowledge to the test with a game about where our food comes from. 

It was a really good game so if you want to play again, just click on the picture! 

If you'd like a real challenge, you can choose the one for 8-11 year olds!
