Measuring in the morning!

Today we went outside and did some awesome math. Room 4 all got to trace themselves with chalk and measure to see how wide we are and also how long we are.  I thought It was fun because Chloe was my partner and she drew me in underwear and I drew her in normal clothes, or should I say weird.  Everyone got covered in chalk!  It was fun.

Daniel's Funny Stories!

Hi, Daniel here,

Today I made two funny stories made of word dominoes, enjoy!

I like eating my big toe because it has so much red apple juice inside it and it has a lot of apple "skin" on the outside with an extra hard slice of strawberry!!

My cat can talk because he is Garfield (even though I don't have a cat) and Daniel had magiclly made his cat talk with his special wand and Daniel said "EXPELIARMUSANKRANKRANKONIASHOSANGIUSINOMBOSCANACKARANGDOHARANKA!!!"

The Help position

In this picture we are practising the help position.  It means Heat Escape Lessening Position.  If you were wondering where you would use this position, it would be in the ocean to trap heat in.

Huddling in room4

We are learning the H.E.L.P* position so if we are in a dangerous situation out at sea we know what to do.

*Heat.Escape.Lessening.Position

The Help position

On Thursday the 19th of February we did the HELP position in our school pool with life jackets on. We had to put our feet up and our arms up to help keep us warm.  It was fun!  

What is a glyph?

A glyph is a type of graph that can be used to display information in picture form.

We chose to create aliens that would tell you about us.  
We then decided on the sorts of things we would put on our alien - both things about us, and how these would be represented.  For example, the head shape would tell you if we had pets or not, the arm colour would tell you if we were a year 5 or 6, and where our eyes are would tell you the colour of our hair!
The kids really enjoyed creating their aliens.  Come in to Room 4 and see them all on display.

Plane Alien

The reason it's called the Plane Alien is because it has plane wings.
