We are learning all about forces today we explored pushing and pulling. We have a padlet page to post all the things we find at home that we can push or pull. Add a photo, video or idea.

Probability Blocks

Today we explored probability using a red block and a blue block and explored the chance of pulling a red block out of a bag. We noticed when there were only two blocks it was quite even. Then we added another blue block and it was harder ( more unlikely) to pull out a red block.

Sport Coaches

Today was sport coaches day one of our favourite times. We were learning all about dribbling a soccer ball and that you have to use the inside of your foot and control the ball. The last thing we did was play sneak up Granny it was so much fun.

Lego Prayers

Today we prayed using lego maybe you could try this at home.

These are the steps we followed:


Hold your brick.
Pray for yourself.  Thank God for the things he has given you.  Ask Him to bless you and to help you to bless others.

Count the bumps on your brick.
For each bump on your brick, pray for a different person- friends or family members.  Ask God to bless them this week.

Find someone who has a different colour brick to you.
Thank God for making each person special.  Thank him for the thingsthat are different but special about other people.  Pray that we will learn how to celebrate and understand people who are different to us.

Put all of the bricks together and build a structure or tower with them.
Pray for everyone and send the prayers to God Together.

Probability

Over the next couple of weeks we are exploring probability. We have been learning about chance and the probability of something happening. It is impossible, possible or certain. We played a game with dice today, one person tries to throw doubles and the other person throws single numbers.

              

This is the game.

These are some of our thoughts.

Paula – it’s better to throw single numbers because your more likely to get counters

Jack – I like doubles – you get to take 5 counters

Liefke – singles because you get to take counters nearly every tur

Ryans – ones you have a better chance of winning

Rich- ones because doubles are harder to get to take counters

Abbey - ones because doubles are harder to get and take counters

Charlotte – doubles more of a chance to win you can take 5

Orton – Both – because you have an even chance of winning

Caitlin - doubles – because when you win you take more counters

Patrick – doubles you have a better chance of winning but its harder

Olivia - doubles you can take more but you have a higher chance of throwing singles

Tino – doubles because you can take 5

First Day Of Term 2

Wahoo what a great day. Everyone is so enthusiastic and ready to learn. We got into our cross country training which was a challenge but we have to start somewhere.




I was on duty at lunch time and saw the most amazing fun happening with the leaves.
