Budding engineers

We have so much fun making beyblades out of lego. We use to make beyblades out of k'nex but we had to let Whio have a turn with them. Osten had an idea to make beyblades using lego instead. We have to make them strong. We can battle each other. We try to make them symmetrical so they are balanced. It's hard to find the tips for the bottom.

T14 Exploring symmetry

During maths time, T14 has been playing with flipping shapes and exploring symmetry.

We used mirrors to help us work out what the picture would look like if we flipped it.

 We also explored symmetry by painting and using matific on the iPads.

Collecting Information about our T groups

We read all about Debbie's class and found out lots of information about the children in her class.

 We then decided what we would like to find out about our T groups. We worked in groups to collect the information. We made sure we were practising:

• taking turns
• sharing our ideas
• asking questions
• speaking nicely
• listening

 

 

 

We helped each other write statements about our graphs.

Finding Treasure

Today some pirates visited Ti Kouka and left treasure lying all around our studio. We went on a treasure hunt to find all the treasure. We counted the treasure and placed it on a graph to see how much we had found.

We had to work together in a group. That meant we had to take turns, share the gluesticks and listen to what our friends had to say.

 

 

 

Sorting it

This week during maths we have been deciding how we can sort different things.

We sorted by shape.

We sorted by colour.

 We also learnt how to use a Venn diagram to sort information. 

T14 used a venn diagram with their buddy to find out what they both liked.
