Hi from the US

Hi everyone. I hope you are having a really great holiday. We are having an amazing trip including visits to LA, Boston, New York and Orlando, Florida so far. I am looking forward to seeing you after the holidays and sharing my holiday photos, and my learning with you.
The top picture is us visiting the Statue of Liberty in New York and the bottom one is of Billy outside the US Constitution in Boston.
See you soon. Mrs Sandri

Bendigo


What a brilliant day we had at Bendigo. We had fantasic weather, wonderful parents and amazing children who walked a long way without complaining and learnt a lot about Shaft Mining. Thank you everyone who made the day possible. A great place to have a picnic if you haven't been there yet.

Measuring in Maths

We have been measuring how large our classroom is.
First we had to work together to find out about how large a square metre is.

Then we had a guess how many people could fit into a square metre.


 There was 14 people in this sqaure metre! No room for any more.
 There are seven lovely people in this square metre!
 This group is measuring how many metres are across our classroom.
 This group is measuring the length of the classroom.

 We found out that the classroom is 9.75metres or 9 and 3/4 metres long.
We found out the classroom is 7.24 metres or approx. 7 1/4 metres wide.

Our next step is to work out the perimeter (around the edge of the class) and the area
 (all the space on the floor if we were going to replace the carpet.

Gold

Try your luck at Gold Mining on the new game. You need to collect your tools, tents, and food from town before you can go mining.
