Term 2

Welcome back to school Room 13 :-) Term 2 is going to Rock!

Make the words yours...

Inspiration for writing sentences that use the "show not tell"strategy.

Cloud you describe the day for me. What's it like outside? - It's cloudy. - No, no, make the words yours.  If your eyes could speak, what would they say. - It's a pale day, everything starts behind the cloud when the sun doesn't look like the sun.  - What does it look like? - Like the silver oyster? - Thank you.  I saw that.

Hot Chocolate Challenge

Next term our class will be selling hot chocolate on Friday’s at school to raise funds for our end of year camp to Taupo.  Our first step in the Hot Chocolate Challenge was to decide, as a class, which brand of hot chocolate or milo we think is one we would like to use.

After tasting a variety of hot chocolate/milo brands we recorded our results in a bar graph.

This bar graph was created in Google Spreadsheets

 It is clear from the results that the Greg's Sachets were a favourite. 

What Next ....

We need to calculate how much a cup of hot chocolate will cost us when we have bought all the key ingredients. The sachets of hot chocolate, milk, marshmallows and cups.

WALT: use fractions and percentages in every day life

Easter Shopping

We each had $120 to go shopping at The Warehouse. We could buy easter eggs for our family and a birthday present for ourselves. What fraction would I spend on eggs? What fraction of the money would I spend on myself?
