TOO MUCH TRAFFIC !

 After we had Constable Willets visit, we decided see how busy the road was outside Elm Park School. 

We sat on the footpath and counted and recorded how many cars, motorbikes, trucks and bicycles went past us in ten minutes. Each time we saw a vehicle we had to put a tick on our chart. 

See what happened next...

There were so many cars - we ran out of space on our page ! 

We counted 68 vehicles in 10 minutes !!!!

Room 3 wants everyone to be vey careful near the road.

STOP! LOOK ! LISTEN !

 

We have been learning about how to keep ourselves safe on and near the road. 

Last week we had Constable Willets come to visit our class and teach us the safest way to cross the road. He reminded us to watch out for sneaky driveways when we walk on the footpath!

Here we are using the Gossamer Drive road crossing carefully. We had to wait sensibly by the kerb. It was important to not cross until we saw the green man on the traffic light. If it turned orange or red we just had to wait!

Fraction Fun

In our Math time we having been looking at 'fair shares'. 

We have been using the word 'whole' to describe a set or an object. Then we have been trying to identify half of a set or an object and recognise the symbol 1/2.  Some of us are even exploring the ideas of quarters. This has been really challenging!

Below you can see some of the ways we have worked with fractions in our class.

"I made a birthday cake and cut it in half. Then I had to share fairly 6 candles".

How many candles were on each half of Casey's cake ????

We had slices of bread today and we had to try and cut it in half. 

How many ways can we cut the bread  fairly?

Literacy Fun

Look at our alphabet champions!

 These children have worked super hard learning letter names, sounds and matching them to the correct  picture.
