The Olympics

This term in room 7 we have been learning about the Olympics. We found out lots about the Olympic rings and the Beijing Olympic mascots. We found out all the different sports at the Olympics and their pictograms- there are 35. We found out about the Ancient Olympics and the sports they used to do. We have a chart on the wall in the class showing how many medals five of the counties have so far. We have been finding out who some of the countries are at the Olympics.

From D to P

We are learning about the road changes happening at the bottom of Dowse Drive. As part of this we have looked at different types of bridges. We are going to work in small groups to build some bridges in the classroom. We will test the bridges to see if they can hold a toy car. We will be taking lots of photos during this time to add to our blog.

Swimming

We have all been making good progress at swimming. We are really looking forward to the swimming sports.

Geometry

The children are doing lots of pair, small group and class activities related to Geometry. We are learning all about 2-D and 3-D shapes. The class are having lots of fun making 3-D shapes and are using directions on map grids to guide their partners around a map. In the near future we will be learning about tessellations and designing tiles. We will be getting creative with symmetry too. It is a busy term with lots of hands on learning. The best way to learn!
