Measurement
WALA: Measurement
To compare objects according to size, length and weight
To use non standard units to measure objects.
To use units of measurement cm, m to measure lengths.
In Room 9 we used cubes as our non standard unit to measure lots of different objects around the classroom. The learners worked with a buddy and showed great team work exploring things around the room and using the blocks to work out how long or tall they were,
Here are some great maths explorers busy finding things out about measurement.
Term Three Inquiry
This term the Te Pihinga team will be inquiring into the big question
HOW CAN WE NURTURE GODS CREATIONS?
We will be focusing on Animals and learning about them the deeper understandings we want our learners to think about is to
Understand that all living things have certain requirements to stay alive.This is important because we need to know how to nurture God’s creations.
Understand that all animals (including humans) belong to a group (classification) and that any one group of living things share a number of features.This is important because we need to increase our knowledge about the world around us.
Turning In
To get our learners excited about Animals we have linked this with our Arts program and have had so much fun drawing, painting and creating art works about Animals we like.This along with reading and sharing our ideas about what we know and want to know has given us a great start to begin our inquiry.
Keep watching this space to see what we Find Out which is the next step in the Inquiry Process.
