Measurement

We are learning about millilitres and litres. We had to measure and compare different amounts of liquid.  We used different sized containers and measuring jugs.

Room 14 Quotes about our Learning

"I learnt how to measure using a measuring jug" Jamie

"We used dye to help us measure, this helped us see the marks on the jug clearer" Isabelle

"We saw that 1000mls is the same as 1L" Rosie

"I learnt that 250mls is equal to 1 cup" Oscar

As a class we also worked out that there are 4 cups in a litre because if you add 250 mls together 4 times it will equal 1 litre, we could also say 250mls multiplied by 4.

I am Water

We watched this video, it got us thinking about water and how important it is.  We have had lots of interesting discussions about water and our bodies, Ashton told us that when water leaves our body it is called urine.  Isala worked out if 70% of the Earth is covered in water then 30% is land.

We had our first week of Teach the Teacher

Joseph amazing us with his coin trick, where did it go?

Joseph guessed the right card, how did he do that?

Making stress balls

Vera was so organised with all her equipment to make stress balls.  She showed us a video clip with the instructions, we are now working as groups to make the stress balls.  She has lots of tips to make this easy.

New Zealand Inquiry

In Room 14 the children have been working in groups to find information about New Zealand.  They have found facts and put them into their own words.  Each group had to create 5 slides about New Zealand and present on Google Slides.  We added transitions, images and backgrounds to our slideshows, some groups have even included a video!

Kiwi Sport with Mrs Grant

Every Thursday we have Kiwi Sport with Mrs Grant, she calls us Team 14 because we are learning to work as a team. 

We made a bar graph using Google Sheets, it shows the months everyone in Room 14 were born.
