Today we harvested our Kohlrabi plants.

We thought the Kohlrabi smelled like broccoli, turnip, cauliflower or onion.
When we took a bite it felt the same as eating cucumber or a carrot.
It was hard and crunchy. It was juicy.
Most of us thought it tasted delicious and yummy.

Matariki

A brainstorm about what we have found out about 

The Maori New Year.

We hope you like our Matariki stars.

We can quickly say a word and spell it!

 One cat, two cats.

 Read the map. Please pass me the maps.

 Kayd has a pet dog. How many dogs do you have?

 An i has one dot. My top has lots of dots.

 Which word is the base word?

 A verb tells us what someone is doing.

A Teddy Bear Problem to Solve

We chose different types of equipment to work it out.

Cody and Amelie used the zoo animals. 

What pattern can you see?

Matilda and Justin used the cubes.

Ian used the beads and thread. 

Great counting up your beads to find the answer Ian.

 Jenna used the teddy bears.

 Cameron and Emily used a pegboard.

How many presents has teddy had since he was born?

What if teddy was turning 6?

What if teddy was turning 10?

Mathematicians

We have been exploring how many bags of ten beans we can make from teen numbers.

How many bags of ten can Harry make from 15 beans?

What is another way of writing 15?

How many beans did Emily have to start with?

What 2 numbers has Kora modelled?

How many beans does Cameron have altogether?

Is this a teen number?

Copycats: We took one shape and made it bigger using the same shape.
Could you see them in the collage?

Geometry

We told our partner about some of the shapes in our pictures.

 Some maths shape words we used were: straight sides

 corners, the same length, oval, square...

 We found a 3D object to match one of our 2D shapes.

 A duster looks like Sylvia's rectangle.

 This table looks like Amelie's cat face circle.

 A tennis ball is like a circle. It is called a sphere.

 This box is like Kobi's rectangle.

 Emily's triangle butterfly wings are like this pencil. 

The playdough container matches Cameron's rectangle.
