WALT cut shapes into Halves and Quarters.

In Room 4 we have been learning about simple fractions. We now know how to find a half, a quarter and one whole of a shape. To show our knowledge, we decided to make pretend pizza and cut it into different fractions.

Success Criteria:

- Understand what 'equal parts' mean.

- Know how many equal parts are needed to make halves and quarters.

We are learning about quarters and halves. I cut my pizza into quarters. You get four pieces when you cut your pizza into quarters and you could share it with four people. I have tomatoes on my pizza. 

Chinese New Year.

Room 4 celebrated Chinese New Year by making drums. First, we learned about the legend of the monster Nian who came out to terrorise villages at New Year. The people of China learned how to scare the monster away with loud noises and the colour red, like our noisy red drums!

Welcome to Year 2.

Welcome to Year 2!

We are very excited to be in Room 4 this year.

Reading to Mum.

I am reading my stories to Mum.  I was really bad at reading because I didn't know the words.  Now I am good!  Next I would like to read some poems.

Kelly Sports.

We are learning to throw and catch on Tuesday mornings at Kelly Sports, 

with Coach Cameron.

Who Am I?

We had to tell about ourselves.  I had to think about me and what I look like.  Then write down the words and they are the clues.  We put them into a book so that other people can read them.  They have to think about what person it might be.  It is mystery to solve!!  It was tricky to think of five clues.
