Term 2 - Food Science chemical reactions and Math Fractions

-

 What a busy start to our new term.  We've immediately begun investigating chemical reactions, including how food matter changes when combined and cooked.  Check out the gas reactions we had with combining lemon juice, vinegar or water with baking soda or baking powder.       We have also moved on to looking at fractions, especially their size and which are bigger or smaller that each other.  I can see it won't be long before we start sharing out jelly beans and cutting cake to work out how to share it evenly.

  Kia-ora and welcome back for Term 4 Not quite the return we were expecting, but we are sure that it won't be long before the class gets the chance to begin our new term in our new class.  Over the last week of Term 3 we relocated our furniture and belongings into the refurbished Room 26, so we are all set for life outside Level 3 Lockdown.

Week 7 update

 There is much excitement in Room 26 with a Solar System jigsaw puzzle underway. At different times of the day, a few extra pieces are added, but with 500 pieces to sort through, it may take a bit longer before we can show the finished picture.  Great way of helping us visualise the planets in the Solar System that we have been finding out about. Maths has also been very hands on.  We are using centimetre cubes, 10 centimetre cube strips and 100 centimetre cube blocks to fill container spaces.  This is really helping us see what the capacity of containers are.  Our challenge for the end of the week was to see how big a 1 meter cube was - we're still working on the idea of this to work out the capacity of our class.  Getting the floor surface is slightly easier, but having to work out the height of our class is   something else.
