Animal Kingdom by Sajiha

Sajiha has had lots of creative fun on her Animal Kingdom maths activity.  She had to find 5 images of animals that are taller than her and 5 images of animals that are shorter than her. She labelled each animal with how tall it is.  Visit her blog to see more of her amazing work (http://pbssajihaa.blogspot.co.nz/).  Remember to leave her a comment!

The awesomeness of google presentation

Measurement investigations

For the last two weeks of school, Room 5 students are completing a measurement tic tac toe challenge.  There are 9 activities to choose from and students have to complete 3 activities in a straight line from the grid of activities.  One activity is called How Long is my Foot?  Students have to choose 3 different measurement units, estimate how long their foot will be using each unit of measurement then measure and record their results.  These photos show some Room 5 students measuring their feet in different ways.  Check out our individual blogs to see our results.

Kahawai reading activity by Zeba

This is one of the reading activities Zeba chose to complete. She read a story called Kahawai. It was about a girl and her grandma in Auckland and it was set in the future.  In the story it is horrible - Auckland is polluted and the message is that if you don't care about the Earth now, in the future the Earth is going to be polluted. So start planting trees and pick up your rubbish. The activity was to write down all the things that they thought might be in the polluted water in the future and add some pictures.  Visit Zeba's blog (http://pbszebas.blogspot.co.nz/) to check out more of her digital learning creations.  Please leave her a comment with some feedback.
