Lion Art - using pastel as the medium

Today's Art group with Mrs Taylor looked at how to use pastels in a way to create a lion's mane by making long, quick strokes.

Here is our group working on our manes.

Garden Art Update...

Here we are putting green string around for the dragonfly's head

One more week to go until our Art Exhibition,  still to finish are our Kiwi, dragonfly and moreporks.  

We got some 'man' power today to help drill some holes into our metal so we could attach our rope to hang them.

Some more twisting willow into circles...

And now it has a head!!  It's starting to look like a Kiwi!!

How do we learn Maths in Room 3?

We do lots of hands-on activities in Room 3 learning maths in all different ways.  Here are some examples from the past couple of weeks.

This is Ashen and Will - looking at The Warehouse online and rounding up lego to the closest ten.  

Next we have to find 3 items - round them up to the nearest dollar and add them by imaging.  Can you work out $150.00+$29.99+$59.00 by imaging?  These boys can and they are only Year 2's!!

Joshua and Liam are working out patterns to numbers.  They have to work out the mystery dot, then number before, after, 10 before, 10 after.

James was using dominoes to add on from the highest number and match them to cards.  A fun way to learn to add on.

Chase has made a 'tens' man - he has 2 beads on one leg and 8 on the other.
