Maths Talk

Today, the Squares Group were working on sharing their Maths strategies. 

They started by trying to work out the multiplication or division problem given to them with a buddy. Some of them used materials (fingers and beans) and some tried to do it in their mind (jedi powers). 

After that, they had to write down their strategy (the way they worked it out). The hardest part about the whole thing was using their words to describe in detail HOW they had come to that conclusion. The actual answer's were 'easy' (according to them).

Here are two videos of them sharing their strategy. 

Mrs Turner thinks they did pretty well considering this video app was new and it was strange sharing to a screen. 

Do you have any tips for us to improve? If you do please leave them in the comments below. (Remember to be nice - we are still learning!)

 Sunnyhills GEMS Learning Power - Self Belief

Last week we started to look at and discuss the Term 2 GEMS learning power of Self Belief. 

Mrs Grant told us this was the learning power for this term. We worked in groups to brainstorm what we thought this learning power might look like, feel like and sound like. If we saw or heard someone using this learning power what might they look like or sound like.

Here a a few pictures sharing us collaborating and brainstorming these ideas. 

Make sure you check our blog again soon to see more about this wonderful Sunnyhills GEM learning power!

Ice Breaking

Happy first week Team 15!

Mrs Grant and Mrs Turner are so excited to have you all in our class. We are super proud of your good manners and the way you have showed a growth mindset this week.

Here are some pictures of us getting to know each other. This occasion called for us to step out of our comfort zone and 'interview' other people in the class. We had to find out things that we didn't know about each other. Did you know that no-one in Team 15 likes the colour pink, lots of people have pets, and quite a few of us have travelled on an aeroplane?

We are looking forward to lots more collaborative activities like this one.
