Maths Exploration

-
Today we explored a variety of maths equipment. Sofia, Monty and Frankie practised their number formation on the whiteboards. Ka pai tamariki!

    

Shay made interesting patterns on the Geoboards.


Zoe and Yahara created a fun game with the number mats, a dice and a beanbag, to practise their number identification.


These children used playdough to make shapes, sets and patterns.


Jaydon and Maia played the 'Build a Tower' game with a dice and duplo. Whose tower will be the highest?


Kapish made these awesome shapes from playdough and added faces. Tau ke Kapish!

Today during our Inquiry-based play, we explored a programmable robot called Codey the Caterpillar. Each segment of its body had a different function such as 'play music', 'turn left' and 'flash lights'. By joining the segments in different sequences we could program Codey to do all sorts of different things. This was a great way for us to learn about directions - particularly telling left from right!

G G G...Ghost!

Today we learned about the letter/sound 'g'. Cara put vinegar in a bottle and then attached a balloon filled with baking soda over the neck of the bottle. When the vinegar and baking soda mixed it caused a chemical reaction and carbon dioxide gas was produced. This caused the balloon to inflate. The balloon looked like a scary ghost! After our experiment, we drew diagrams and wrote about the balloon ghost in our writing books. Before completing the experiment, lots of the children predicted that the balloon would explode and Shanaya thought we would have to spend the rest of the day cleaning up the classroom! Although the reaction was exciting, luckily it wasn't quite that dramatic! What fun we have at writing time.
