Maths book

For maths this week we read a book called One Is a snail, 10 is a crab. We then worked in groups to create our own version. My book is called One is a snake, 10 is lobster. I hope you like it...

Moon Rover Lander

For science we made a Moon rover lander using only a paper cup, paper, cellotape and straws.  We were given the task of making our Moon rover land softly onto our Moon landscape so that our marsh-mellow astronauts did not fly out.

What I like best about my Moon rover is the parachute.

What I needed to modify on my Moon lander rover was to make it more stable.

One thing I learned about landing on the Moon was to make it stable.

Here is a video/picture of my Moon rover landing on our school’s Moon surface.  I hope you like it!

Maths

Hi

For maths, I have been using Studyladder to help me learn about place value.  Here is a video I made using Screencastify showing how I can use place value blocks to solve a problem.

We have been learning to talk each other in Maori. Here is a conversation recorded on Screencastify.
