MATHS

For maths every day we do some different stuff.  Mrs Beachamp introduced two new games. They were about adding up and finding different ways to make the number. Our group went through three sheets in one session. There is a number trail where you have to use the numbers to equal the target number. These games are awesome and fun.

Esplanade

Aaah. A relaxing walk through native bushes, plants and trees.We were strolling to the esplanade to have a good half hour in the playground. Aaaah, as kids screamed going down the flying fox. This playground was a kids dream! It was wonderful, original, fantastical! There was a huge flying fox you either stand up or sit down on it. Now this one's suprising. They had hampster wheels! One big one and one small one. I think this one was my favourite toy. It was like big walkie talkies with satellite dishes at the end of them. The two of them were quite far apart. You would talk into a dark green curved pipe and you would hear it through the other pipe.

CURRENT EVENTS

Every Monday morning we do a current events quiz where we get quizzed on all of the latest news. There are twenty questions. Some are hard and some are easy. The questions are interesting and you learn a lot of things from the quizzes. Afterwards we pick one question and we research the topic.There  also are questions like who's in the picture and what flag is this.

MATHLETICS

I glance up at the maths board under cubes and pyramids. Yesss! We're on Mathletics today. A main focus in maths is Mathletics. Each session we have at least one group on. Mathletics is a online website where you can challenge people from all over the world.You can also focus on topics like geometry, statistics and heaps more. I think that mathletics is a motivational website encouraging kids to love learning!
