Yoon Seok's bar graph

When we looked at our bar graph, we found out that
Room 15 has the most students in their class.

Room 2 has the least students in their class.

Room 17 has more students than Room 20.

Room 3  has less students than Room 7.

Room 18 and Room 22 have the same number of  students. 

Learning about capacity

At ESOL time we did maths and we learnt about capacity. We learnt about how many millilitres and litres each container could hold. The active bottle held the most and the yoghurt pot held the least.

Measuring

The fantails learnt about weight. First we estimated the weight of ice-cream boxes. Then the fantails measured their weights with digital scales. The fantails got it right! I learnt about how measure using grams and kilograms.

Mathematics Learning - Term 2

For the first half of this term the students were working on learning the language of Geometry - position and orientation.

The Yellow, Red and Purple groups learnt to use prepositions accurately for example above, around, in, on, under, behind and in front.

These junior students are placing pictures on a scene by following instructions which include prepositions.



The Green and Blue groups learnt the language of mapping for example clockwise, anti-clockwise, left, right, North, South, West and East, whole, half and quarter turns.

After following oral instructions to reach their destination, these senior students are hunting for buried pirate treasure.



They then created maps and instructions of their own.

The Green and Blue groups are now learning about Measurement - capacity and weight. The students are applying their knowledge and vocabulary by baking for their visit to Mayfair Rest Home in Week 9.
