Secret Location 4!

I hope this 'Secret Location' is more of a challenge and takes more than one day to solve or I might be running out of holiday photographs.  These are all our own photos so I did not put the name of the owner or link to a website.  Just to be sure:  Photos by Mark & Allana Taylor

Hints:
Same challenge, same comments - remember to use YES / NO questions, check the editing and leave your name. 

Will you be the winner of Secret Location 4?

Have our lunches improved? Did we take action?

Jumping the Number Line

We have been learning to jump the number line to add in Black Group.  This is a cool video to explain it from Mr Kemp and his class.  See how easy it looks!



I wonder what maths we could explain and make a video of?

Forced Connection - thinking tool

Watch this video clip and think about all the connections between this and learning. What is happening?  Does this happen with good learners? What do we need to do differentlly when we learn?

Waka Paddle

Our whole school has a big waka in the library.  Every person in the school is designing their own waka paddle so we can work as a team.

This is my waka paddle.  It shows my mountain, river and family.  It also shows that I love blogging, my cats and reading.

How much sugar?

Liz the dietician came again and we looked at the nutritional guides on cereal packages.  We also looked at how much sugar is in drinks.








Which drink would you choose?
1. Water?
2. Milk?
3. Juice?
4. Flavoured milk?
5. Coke?
6. Powerade?
7. V?

What's in our lunches?

We took a close look at what is in our lunches.  I wonder if these will change as we learn more about healthy foods?
Have we covered all the food groups at the base of the pyramid - fruit, vegetables, bread and cereals?

Check out what we are reading this term!

Brain Break: Rock, paper scissors, maths!

We are learning about how brain breaks can help us maximise or learning time.  Here is one brain break activity we are going to try. 



Try to answer these questions:
How were you feeling before the activity?
What did you have to do with your body and brain during the activity?
How did your feel after the activity?
How did doing this activity make a difference to your thinking and learning?

Where is this?

Just a challenge to see if any kids are watching. Jasmine, my trusty blog watcher, I know you won't let me down.
Challenge:Where would you find this sculpture? What is it?

Spelling - prefix or suffix?

Use prefixes and suffixes to create new words, with new meanings, from words you already know. This is a really cool spelling game that we will be using this year. Give it a go to see how many different words you can make.
