Collaborative learning in maths

We can work together to solve problems in maths.

- Everyone can learn math!
- Making mistakes (and confusion) are part of learning.
- Questions are really important.
- Math is about making sense and making connections.
- Math isn't about who's the fastest or getting it right all the time.

We help each other

We ask questions

We take turns

We are kind to one another

One person talks at a time and we politely listen to what others have to say

Weekly Update Term 2, Week 7

We were so excited to have Green Grasshopper back in our class!  We had the most waste free lunches in the middle school this week.  Thank you to all those mummies and daddies who are helping out at home to make sure your child has a waste free lunch on Wednesday and Friday!

Also a big welcome to those of you who have just recently started following our class blog.  We are so grateful to have an audience to share all of the amazing things we have been up to room 3.

Special mention goes out to Amarpreet who is holding Green Grasshopper in the photo - she has been bringing a waste free lunch every week!

Making Marmite sandwiches

We are learning to write instructions.  We had to write instructions on how to make a Marmite sandwich.  First we had to make them!  Thank you so much to those families who were able to contribute either bread or Marmite for us to use on the day.

We had to take photos of each step.

Khushi adding the Marmite

Lucas adding the butter.


Cooper spreading the Marmite and Sophie making sure to get the photo.
