Ordering by Long and Short

On Wednesday the Marvellous Meerkats learned about long and short.

First we each looked for one thing that was long and one thing that was short.

Next we got into our groups.

Then we put the shortest one down and the longest one down. They have to start at the same spot.

Have a look at the pictures we took:

Same Length Scavenger Hunt

Yesterday, when Mr Davidson was at a maths course, we did some maths of our own. Whaea Mele gave us eight blocks. She told us to find something that had the same length as the blocks. We found pencils, felts, scissors and books.

Writing

Here is the writing that we did this week after we had put the pictures in order. Remember, we hadn't read the story before we did this. We hope you enjoy reading them.

Buckle Up!

This week is Road Safety Week. Every day this week at lunchtime we could go to Room 2 and get our picture taken. We had to line up with a partner. Next we buckled our seat belts. Mrs Priestly took our picture. We got some prizes for doing this. Someone will win a booster seat.  You have to be 148cm tall to not use a booster seat in a car. That's all of the Meerkats, except for Mr Davidson.

Making Fourteen AND Fifteen

This week some of our groups were able to make Pic Collages showing all the ways we can make both 14 and 15! They had to be very clever and work together by taking different jobs. Well done. Have a look at all of our work:

Making Thirteen (Part II)

Here are the Pic Collages from the last two groups. We made 13 once again. Can you see all the different ways we made thirteen? Which number do you think will come next?

Unscrambling a Recount

This week Mr Davidson found a recount that was all mixed up. He needed our help to put it back together. We worked in groups to cut all the sentences up and put them in order. It was tough work but some of us figured it out. Have a look at the work from three groups. Which one do you think should be put up on our writing wall? Vote with the form below the pictures.

Fractions

Yesterday we made some posters to show what fractions are. We had to match the words, the numbers and a picture of the fraction. We worked in groups and had to agree on our sorting. Here are three of our posters. We need your help to pick which one will go up on our wall. Fill out the form at the bottom of the post to choose. Don't forget your name!

Bee Bots

We have been learning how to program the Bee Bots this term. We know how to make them go forward, backward and how to turn left and right. We have had lots of challenges to get the Bee Bot from one letter to the next. We have worked with a partner and shared the jobs. Have a look at the HUGE challenge that Mr Davidson gave us. We had to make the Bee Bot go through the whole race course. Have a look at what George did!

Quality Work
