Different ways to make 20

                                               Here are some of the ways to make the number 20

 This week we have been talking about the water shortage in Auckland. Everyone in Auckland is asked to save 20L of water per day to help get through the problem. As a class, we decided to show how to make/represent the number 20 in different ways.

Shapes everywhere in our classroom

Today I walked around my classroom and looked at how shapes are used to make different things.  I found that our carpet had square shapes, the book had an oblong shape, the light switch also had an oblong shape, the cushion seat near the window had an oblong shape and my pet reading cushion had a triangle shape in its ears. Shapes are everywhere you look.

Main ideas of a story using a flowchart

Today, my group listened to a story, and then we worked together to decide what the main ideas were. We used a flowchart to record our ideas. The story was called The Elves and the Shoemaker. I think we did a good job because this is the first time we tried using a flowchart.
