We thoroughly enjoyed our special visit.

Some of the artworks were really big and some were really small.  There were paintings and sculptures made from all different sorts of materials.

Thank you Art Roadshow.

ICT Open Morning

This week we showed off our knowledge in using ICT.  It was so great to show our mums and dads all the things we have learnt and how we use ICT in the classroom.

VH Kids chose their favourite apps that they use during maths, literacy and topic time and shared with their parents who came in.

It was a fun and relaxed block!








Thanks mums and dads who came in to see our learning.

Some of the apps we use in class are:

 

  

    

Too Many Toys

On Monday we started our topic 'Too Many Toys'.  All our kids in Endeavour Syndicate took part in a rotation around each of the classes exploring, playing and even guessing new and old toys.

What a lot of fun!




Guess the toy

What a great start to our new week with the Discovery School X-Games.  It was great to see so many families out on a gorgeous sunny day having fun and supporting our school.  Well done DSPTA for such a fun family event.

GO GO GO ALL BLACKS!

'All Blacked' out in VH Class


Money Munching with Vani

What a fun afternoon.  We had a special visitor, Vani, from ASB.  He taught us a lot of about money.  We also learnt about the difference between Needs and Wants.

Needs are things that you need to survive.  Wants are things that you would like to have but don't need to survive.



As you can see .... the kids were totally focussed.  



Thanks ASB.

Fraction Fun!

This week VH Kids have been learning all about fractions.

We have learnt that fractions are part of a whole and all fractions need to be equal.  If they aren't they are called unequal.

We had a yummy time making equal and unequal parts with luncheon - yum!

Here are some unequal parts.

  

  

Fractions are equal parts of a whole.

  

  

If you slice a pizza - you have made fractions.


Here are some of enjoying munching fractions!
