The impossible bridges

Bridges come in many shapes and sizes. Our class decided to make our own models of some kinds of bridges. It was fun!

Foam Printing

We made our landscapes by simply drawing deep lines into the foam. 
Then we used ink to transfer our images onto paper. 😀

Our Trip to Devonport

Yesterday, the juniors had a fantastic trip to Devonport as a part of our Term 3 Inquiry 'Changing Landscapes'.

We walked to the top of Mt.Victoria and enjoyed the most beautiful views of Auckland city and the Waitemata Harbour. We looked at some major landforms that we have in our area.

We had lots of fun!

Measuring the Volume of Solids

We learnt how to measure and compare volumes of various containers using non-standard volume units. We measured our containers using the building, stacking and place value blocks. 
At the end of our activity, we agreed that we needed a standard unit of volume to get the same results. We noticed that it became difficult to communicate and compare results with others that used different units.

We had to use the same size blocks to get the same results!

Without standard units of measurement, people would have a huge problem understanding what other people were saying and measuring. 😀

Our Book Day!

Today was a special day at our school because we celebrated our very own BOOK DAY!

We had great fun dressing up!
