Welcome to Term 2!

TERM 2:

A belated welcome to Term 2. As some of you will know I had an extra 8 days holiday visiting my daughter who is, at present, living and working in Japan. It was a lovely holiday but it was also lovely to come back and have such a warm welcome home from the students in Room 13.

It is looking like being a super busy term. This week we visited the Hutt Library on Tuesday and today was our school cross country at Sladden Park. I was very proud of the attitude and involvement of everyone in our class. Luckily the weather co-operated too!

Maths and Science-Hands on learning!

Great fun with Bee-Bots today! 

A great hands on Maths and Science lesson today.  We used all sorts of strategies finding out how to programme the robots with the correct co-ordinates so they would end up in the right position.  Also lots of skills were involved in taking turns, working in a group, encouraging others and sharing skills.

Learning and having fun!

Where could the treasure be?

Have I put in the right instructions?

We really need to work as a team to get this right.

Yes success!

Our group can use 2 Bee-Bots together. This was a very co-operative group.

Now to send 2 Bee-Bots out on the road together!
