Super students!

Congratulations to Sebastian, Lincoln and Eva who have been demonstrating the 3Rs in Room 6! Well done, we are all very proud of you 🌟🌟🌟

Exploring Fractions

 

Today we explored fractions of objects and shapes using playdough and wooden food. We are learning that a fraction is a piece of a whole. When we cut the playdough, we have to make sure it is a ‘fair share’ and both pieces are an equal size. Ka pai tō mahi (good work) Room 6, look at all the things you discovered!

Optional home activity: can you find or show halves and/or quarters of an object or shape? Send a photo to share to Mrs Kirby: tiffanyk@elmpark.school.nz

Kang Eun made another fractions discovery!
