Mathematics
The tamariki are learning about shapes in Geometry and we are also talking about fractions, so cutting potatoes into pieces was a great idea to practice. We know that fractions are when a whole is cut into equal pieces.
The boys get the most important ingredient ready for the potato wedges, the TOMATO SAUCE!!

Science
In Science we are creating a mini solar system. We are learning about space, and soon we'll talk about matariki. Matariki is a constellation of stars in the sky! We decided to choose a planet and become experts on our chose planets. The teacher asked...
But, what temperature is your planet? How do you know what is hot? And what is really cold...
We decide to do an Investigation
 |
| Vaughan feels the water, he feels gas... which is turning into water on his hand! |
 |
| Tahuri Checks the Temperature with a thermometer |
We all decided we should learn about the temperature and got to see a thermometer. Karanga and Shay are fascinated. The mercury shoots up and down the thermometer. The water was hotter than the air!!
What a great excuse to make Jelly that was!!
 |
| Ataahua and Karanga line up the cups, so everyone can have kai! |
 |
| The team pour out the jelly crystals (solid) |
Our tasty kai went down a treat with the Tamariki from Ruma 3, and Ruma 4.
Assessment
Tamariki were able to reflect on our previous Science experiment. We explored gas, solids and Liquids. Everyone in our class is using the language, Tino Pai!
Ka pai Ruma Toru!!
