Hiwi The Kiwi Show

We were lucky to have a special show in the hall called 'Hiwi The Kiwi'. It was full of humour, music and important information about how to stay safe around the water and how to protect our oceans and the creatures that live in it. Ted even won a prize! Kids, can you tell your adults some of the important messages from the show?

Area and perimeter

We took advantage of some recent sunny weather to take our mathematics learning outdoors. We have been learning how to find the area and perimeter of shapes.
We know that the perimeter is the total distance around the shape. You find the perimeter by adding the length of all sides of the shape.
We know that the area is the space inside the shape.  You find the area by multiplying the length of two of the sides.
We learned a lot and by the look of these photos had fun working together. Great stuff room 16!

Our ANZAC parade

This year ANZAC Day, April 25th, fell in the school holidays. 
When we got back to school, room 16 held our own special ANZAC parade to remember those who have sacrificed so much during wars. 
Lest we forget.
We held a sword from World War 1
We visited our school memorial for a minute of silence.

Congratulations Milo!

Well done Milo who received a certificate and book prize for working hard to improve and be the best he can be. What a great  learner!
