Maths With Valerie

 So today I'll be telling you about our main Maths focus this week which was measurement/benchmarks. So on Tuesday we made a 1 metre ruler out of the edges of A4 card paper. So to make a 1 metre ruler out of A4 paper you need to fold it and fold again now cut the pieces tape them together then put it against a 1 metre ruler and if there is any extra part you can cut it off.  Once we're finished we go outside with our math books and write down things that  we think are 1 or 2 metre objects then measure them with our ruler we made. The next day we did Benchmarks if you don't know what that is it's when you measure a part of your body to a specific measurement like if you take four steps that's a metre . So we went outside with our math books and found things that are 10 and 1 centimetre 1 metre 1/2 metre then write it down. Bye!

                         PINK SHIRT DAY 

Can you count how many times I said pink? Last Friday was pink shirt day, I'm sure you know what that is but if you don't it means you'll need to wear pink to school on one particular day of the year. So now you know what that is I'll tell you about my day. It was very early in the morning when I went to school so I decided to have some breakfast at breakfast club some staff who was doing the breakfast was kind of wearing pink. Anyway after breakfast I went to launchpad with some of my friends who also go to launchpad. The staff at launchpad wasn't wearing pink but they didn't know it was the day so it was fine. The bell rang then I went back to my class (Manukau) we did the roll as we wrote in our training diary. Later on after the roll we went to singing assembly in the school hall and because it was a lovely weather that day, so the whole school sat in the shape of a shirt and everyone was wearing pink so the shirt we made was PINK. It was a cool pink shirt day and here are a couple photos we took.⬇ BYE!
