Making a Current in the Water

Last week Team 8 and Team 10 talked about being safe in a water current. 

We first made a current in the water. (A giant whirlpool)

The we had to try and float ... It was tricky to make the whirlpool, but gosh it was fun!

Here we are making the whirlpool. 

Such fun!

Pattern Hunt

This morning, Team 8 went on a pattern hunt around Sunnyhills School. We found HEAPS of repeating patterns. We went in groups with the Ipads. We took pictures of repeating patterns. 

After that Mrs Turner taught us how to use Pic Collage to put our patterns in a shape. Here are our pictures...

Josephine, Dia, Andy, Theo and Sam made these collages...

Ben, Jeremy, Paul, Cecilia, and Indigo took these ones...

Zoe S, Cameron, Mason, Michelle and Leona made these ones...

Wyatt, Zoey A, Alex, Synthia and Gabriella created these...

How do you think we did? 

CHALLENGE FOR TEAM 8:

• Find some patterns at home, or out and about over the weekend. 
• Ask Mummy or Daddy nicely if you can borrow their phone to take pictures. 
• Add them to the free "Pic Collage" app and email them to Mrs Turner: saraht@sunnyhills.school.nz there may be a reward!

Please leave us a comment so we can move up our pegs! :-)

Algebraic Patterns

Hey Mummy's and Nana's,
Did you like your special prezzie this afternoon?

For Math today, Team 8 explored different patterns. We learned about the special word "REPEAT" and made the wonderful ladies in our lives a lovely necklace with a repeating pattern.

Leave a message, and tell us what you think of them.

Next week we will see if we can see any repeating patterns around the school. Can you find any at home?

Mathematics is super fun in Team 8!

Road Safety with Constable Merv

Our next Inquiry learning in Team 8 is looking at Everyday Heroes in our community.

Today Constable Merv, a very important community constable, came in to teach us about crossing the road safely.

Team 8 already knew so much about crossing the road... however we still learnt some new skills. 

Here we are learning those new skills.

The Zebra Crossing

Watch out for Traffic

Watch for those sneaky driveways

Wait for the green walking man.

We must Stop, Look and Listen

Don't forget to look

Any cars coming?

Walk and look at the same time

Wyatt spotted a car

Are you listening for that traffic?

Watch those sneaky driveways

Great listening Zoe

Did you watch for those cars?

Great looking down those sneaky driveways

Team 8 wrote some great speech bubbles to share our learning.
Mrs Grant is busy putting them on a giant poster for us.
Keep looking at our blog to see our learning.

A huge thank you to Constable Merv for coming to share all his knowledge with us.
