Harold and Jacky

Kia ora! (hello)

Last week Harold the giraffe and Jacky paid us a visit. This time it was about what makes us unique.

We now know that our finger prints are very unique. So are zebras stripes. We listened to some music and made up own special story about how it made us feel.

We got out Harold's toy doll Tam. We talked about the  

 the muscular system... and the skeletal system... and 

 the air system, AND s m o k i n g. We checked the tree mail and we

got some books and a surprise in a big box!

Day 2 we watched a cartoon about smoking, nicotine, is it really that

hard to quit and tar. Tar? Yes, tar.

 

We pretended to go in a spaceship and go to a planet where everyone was the same. 

And we talked about how different we are.  We also talked about how many chemicals there are in smokes.

At the end we watched a song that Harold wrote.

At last we gave Harold some hugs and said good bye.

                                             Bye bye Harold and Jacky, see you next year!

Symmetrical Stuff

For maths this term were looking at reflection, rotation, and translation so were looking at symmetrical  objects. We had three cameras and we were sent off in pairs. Zayleah and Alex was a pair, Briana and Chilay were together, and Abbey and Natasha were together in a pair.

With the cameras we got loads of photos of things that are symmetrical.

Abbey and Natasha's best photo was the pipe slide.  The pipe slide has a line of symmetry right down the middle.









Chilay and Birana's found a tyre.  A tyre has an infinite number of lines of symmetry.  Infinite means that they can't be counted,  finite means they can be counted.





 

Zayleah and Alex's best photo was a cricket stand which was yellow.  It's line of symmetry goes right down the middle stump.

There are some more photos below.  See if you can find the lines of symmetry on them.

Welcome Room 6 2010

Welcome! Just look at us, we're a LLL .  (lovely luscious lot)
This term we are going to be 
busy working on Dinosaurs, wow! 


In our class there are 21 students.
We are now seniors  and  we've got duties . This morning was Tuesday February 10 the flag was hung upside-down!  Apparently that is a sign of distress so we were waiting for the rescue helicopter to land on the library roof and rescue us all.  Luckily our flag people turned it round in time.


We have heaps of exciting things to look forward to this term so please keep reading our blog so you can find out about them.
