Maths Art - Fractions

Earlier in the term we looked at how we can make shapes using fractions of circle. By cutting a circle into halves, quarters or eights, we can make a range of creative shapes.

We used these shapes to make a creative design for our Maths title page.

Check out the photos below of us creating our unique shapes. If you're passing by the classroom sometime, feel free to have a look at your child's creation.

Welcome!

Welcome to Room 21 2019! It is such a pleasure to be getting to know your children over the past few days. What a great class we have - full of diversity and positiveness. The class is settling well and learning the expected routines. Our learning journey is well underway and see how the children are so excited to learn news things and take on new challenges in their learning.

Today in Inquiry, we looked at 'The Learning Pit'. We love the learning pit as a toll because it shows us that it's ok to struggle with our learning, that it's natural that some things are harder to learn than others, it's ok to seek help in our learning. By going through this process our learning is deeper and more meaningful and we will be more successful. As a class we talked about there are different stages when learning something new. We start by facing a challenge and this is the time when we could feel anxious, nervous or even scared about what is ahead of us. We 'fall' into the pit (Deep Learning) and start feeling confused, thinking it's all too hard. Then we start to realise that if we ask for help, keep trying and ask questions, we can begin to climb up out of the pit. By working together, collaboratively and positively we can reach the third stage of learning - Successful Learning. One of the best things about the Learning Pit is that it
