This week’s hands-on homework task is to write a story using Storybird. Storybird is an awesome website that allows you to write stories and then add different artist’s pictures to go with your writing. When you have finished you can make it into a book and share on your blog. So come on everyone, lets get creating your very own books!

Today in Maths we started learning about Geometry and 2D shapes. As part of the learning everyone had to find and photograph 2D shapes around the school. Check out Rosalind and Georgia’s! This week’s hands-on homework task is to find and tell a joke! Yes, you read correctly, tell a joke! More FM are running a joke competition for schools and the funnest person receives $4,000 for their school. So on Monday next week (I am away on Friday) we will have a class joke competition. The winner will go forward to tell their joke to More FM when they come to school on Tuesday. So what are you waiting for? Lets get cracking jokes everyone!

Today 3D were lucky enough to skype Mrs Campbell’s class in Normandale, Lower Hutt. We exchanged information about each other’s city/town and learnt lots of new things about their school.

This week’s hands-on homework task is to argue for or against having to complete homework. In class we have been learning how to write an argument so I thought this would be a great hands-on homework task for this week. I want you to record your argument using A-Map and then put it on your blog. A-Map is a fabulous website that allows you to create on-line arguments. So come on everyone, should we have to complete homework? let me know what you think!

In class we have been learning how to etch and have produced some truffula trees from the Lorax. Check out the early finishers!
Check out this question left by Kevin from our Boards of Trustees. He left it as a comment on the Number Strategies post. I wonder if we can answer it? “Hi Kids, I just used a strategy to decide how many doughnuts I could eat – I bought some at Auckland Airport today at “Dunkin Donuts.” I bought six doughnuts and there are 4 of us in our family. How many did we have each to make sure we all the same amount? My strategy used fractions for 6 doughnuts divided into 4 portions. That’s where maths can be tasty!”
