We are 100 days more clever!

On Thursday, July 21st, 2B, 2J and 2N celebrated the 

100TH DAY OF SCHOOL!

Yesterday:

Nine tens and nine ones.

Today:

What can you do with nine tens and ten ones?

You can make one hundred!

We had rotations and participated in some great activities.

We made 100 Day glasses with Mrs Newman:

We made fairy bread with Mrs Bennett (with A LOT of help from Mrs Spalding!). We used 100s and 1000s (of course!), fairy dust, chocolate sprinkles, honey and jam. We talked all about fractions. Most children chose to have their fairy bread in quarters, but knew they could make their quarters in different ways. 

Who ever knew school could be so yummy?!

Quarters in triangles.

Quarters in rectangles.

Quarters in squares.

2B enjoyed their fairy bread.

So did 2N!

Here are three different ways of making quarters.

And we made 100 Day posters with Mr Beck.

Writing in Term 3

WALT (We are learning to)

Write a persuasive text

Persuasive texts introduction from forslsh

Fractions

WALA (We are learning about)

fractions

1/2

1/4

We know that fractions are equal sized parts of a whole.

The quarters on the left are equal, the quarters on the right are not (so they're not actually quarters!)

The quarters on the left are equal, what about the right?

We made slide shows that show different ways of making equal fractions.

Bluearth in Term 3

It's that exciting time of term again, when we find out what our new Bluearth games are. Drum roll, please...

Monday: skills practice (photographed below)
Tuesday: Chain Tiggy
Wednesday: Dog Pound
Thursday: Skittle Soccer
Friday: Run the Gauntlet (our fave!)

Bluearth is sooo much fun! It also gives us a chance to practise our Bluearth skills:
1) no fussing
2) be your own umpire
3) try your best
You can use this language at home, too. 

Exercise is also a fabulous way to switch on our brains ready for learning. That's why we use it to start every day!
