Poem time!

Our poem this week is called Zebra.

We illustrated our poems and now we are making zebras.

We can't wait to share them with you at home.

Probability

We are using our thinking and problem solving skills to predict an outcome.

Today  we used three comments spread around the classroom. They were...

No Chance, Sometimes, and A Good Chance.

I gave the children the following statements....

Tomorrow I will brush my teeth before school,

Tonight I will have desert after dinner,

I have worn gumboots to school,

Tomorrow I will kiwi fruit for brain food.

We had a debate about where to go if you had only worn gumboots to school once.

We decided we needed another option and added the the word Rarely.

Cole said "I have no chance of having kiwi fruit because I don't like it"

Inquiry Learning

We brainstormed our ideas about "Change". We voted on what subjects we most wanted to Learn about. We decided together to find out more about the Earth and changes.

We are learning about the seasons and why the weather changes.
