World Maths Day!!! 03/03/10
Room 13 have been celebrating World Maths. http://www.worldmathsday.com/2010/
During maths time we looked at weight using grams and kg. We used the Pods to look at http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk and went on to their great interactive weight links!
Later that morning Room 13 used to the Pods to play a range of maths games that make learning basic facts fun and enjoyable.
Some of the websites used were: mathletics, tutpup, funbrain, coolmaths4kids, ictgames etc!

Last week during Technology we were given a challenge to construct a bridge using only one piece of A4 paper...that's it! The bridge needed to support the heaviest weight possible. In groups we trialed several different designs.
New Task:
To design and build a bridge made of fettucine!
Your bridge needs to:
* Support a 500 gram weight (a block of butter)
* Span a 35 cm gap.
Resources:
* 500 gram packet of dried fettucine
* Hot glue guns
* Hot glue!

CRAZY FACES -BY ROOM 13 the photos
To start off the year and try to brighten up the room we have painted some distorted faces.
We started off by doing some quick sketches of our partners. It was funny because they were very quick. We also had to draw faces upside down, with our wrong hand and without looking.
We then looked at some art by Picasso and discussed the portrait of the 'Weeping Woman'
From there we sketched out a distorted face that we were happy with.
One of the main objectives of the lesson was to learn how to hold a paintbrush and apply paint.
Here is a slide show of what we completed. Leave us a comment to tell us what you think.

Wow- Busy term coming up!
Yr 5/6 at Muritai School have got a very busy first term coming up.
First and foremost it is the term that we go to CAMP! Possibly the best four days of the school year. I absolutely loved camp in 2009 and I know that it is going to be even better this March.
Camp runs from 8th- 12th March. Our topic work will centre around camp and afterwards we will be doing an awesome technology unit! Go Mr D!
In literacy we will be focusing on personal recount writing and reading "Stig in the dump" by Clive King.
In maths will be looking at measurement and then place value in the second half of the term.
For Health and Physical Education we will be swimming until week 7 then starting small ball skills!
In art we will be focusing on drawing.
Wow that's a lot and there is more to come!
