On Thursday 2nd July all of the classes in the Huia pod gathered in the hall for their second round of ART ATTACK! We learnt how to do scrafetto. First we coloured our pages entirely with an explosion of colour using crayons and then we painted over our hard work with black paint. Once it had dried the fun part started and we got to scratch out different patterns. It was messy, loud and crazy but a whole lot of fun.

MONEY MONEY MONEY!

2009-06-07T17:37:00.000-07:00

In maths this morning we counted money. Miss Edwards had a problem counting the money she had collected for our trip to Rainbows End so we helped her out. First we counted all the twenty dollar notes and then the $5 notes.

We now know that there are 2 tens in a $20 and so $40 there are 4 tens.

In a twenty dollar note there are 20 ones.

To make $100 you only need 5 $20 notes!

We had to count up in 10s, 20s and 5s.

We got to count coins and notes and cheques too!

It was fun because it was real money and we were learning some times tables too.

In the weekend I had to get up at 7.00 so I could be at the netball courts by 7.40. I was really tired and I wanted to go back to bed. Out side it was freezing and I didn’t want to play netball if it meant playing in the rain. By the time I was there it was a little bit sunny. At first I didn’t like playing but then it got better. With 2 minutes left for our game it started hailing. But in the end we won!
