Get NZ Writing

This week we have continued to work on our Get NZ Writing project. It's been so much fun. The puzzle pieces are now complete. Some of our metaphor poems are published here on our blog.

Number Lines are Awesome!

This week we made our own personalised blank number lines. Jordana and Luke soon got to grips about with why blank number lines are so amazing and such a resource no matter what stage of maths you're at. When the number line is blank, we can label it to suit our learning. Maybe 1-10, 1-100, -5 to 5, 0 to 1. All numbers no matter how big or small are part of a number line.

Google Maps

As part of Get NZ Writing We had to find a location that was 1km, 5km and 10km from our school- Kerikeri Primary School. We used Google Maps to search for the places 1km, 5km and 10km from the school. We had so many learning conversations comparing decimals and using our knowledge of Kerikeri and the surrounding areas to make estimations about which locations were closer and which were further away. We were so excited about the power of Google Maps and even found Luke's old address in Japan!! It was so exciting!
