SPCA Mufti Day

On Friday everyone dressed up in their favorite clothes instead of their school uniforms and brought along gold coins, old towels and blankets and even canned pet food to donate to the SPCA who help look after unwanted, sick and abused animals. Thank you for your support, it was a great success and........ Room Three looked FABULOUS!!

On Friday mornings we also do Problem Solving Maths. Our problem this week was "5 children each got bitten 3 times by mosquitoes, how many times did they get bitten altogether?". First of all we decided what the key information in the problem was and shared with our buddies how we would solve the problem. These were some of our ideas - Count, Draw a picture and Act the problem out. Here are some photos of us discussing the problem and acting it out.

We found that the children got bitten 15 times altogether. Kaipai Room Three!! Thank you whanau and keep helping us practice our counting at home so we can get even BETTER.
