Creating with Fractions

Shout out to the girls at www.lessonplansos.com for this great fraction creativity task.  The kids had a lot of fun creating an animal out of fraction pieces.  They then had to write a 'recipe' for their creations.  I like the integrated element of this activity.  These pictures will be used for our calendar art too.  We hope you like our animals!

Room 5 Garden

Our garden has started out quite slowly.  Lots of silverbeet but only a few lettuces!
Hope we get some more though.

Artsplash

Room 5 are creating art for Artsplash at the Michael Fowler Centre in September.  We have looked at the art of Brad Novak and come up with 21 icons about 'Creative Arts' - dancing, drama, culture, visual art and music.  This is what we have done so far!

Flat Stanley Math Problems

Over the first two weeks of term, Room 5 have been learning about measurement and time.  We read a story called Flat Stanley and used problems Stanley faced in the book to learn how to solve word problems about measurement and time.  It was lots of fun learning!
