Measuring Up

We have been learning about measurement in Room 4.  We have been learning to measure width and height using mm, cm and metres.  The Taimana maths group had to choose something to measure and the appropriate unit of measurement to measure it with.  They used the ipad to take pictures of their measurement  and then created a video of their findings using movenote.  Are all their measurements correct? Leave them a comment and let them know.

Complex sentences

For writing some of the students in room 4 have been learning to use conjuctions to write complex sentences.  Here are some of the sentences we came up with.

The white unicorn looked at the moon because his friend was trapped on it. 

The white unicorn looked at the moon while dancing on the mountain edge. 

The white unicorn looked at the moon as it slowly drifted down while the sun was rising.

Read to Someone

As part of the daily five program we have been learning how to read to a buddy.  Our buddy listens to us read and summarises what they heard.  We then ask each other questions to check our understanding before swapping roles.  Here are some photos of our first buddy reading session.
