Learning about volume

We have been learning how to find the volume of cuboids.
We know that volume is the amount of space inside a 3-D shape.
When we calculate volume we multiply the width by the length by the height.
We made models to check our calculations and enjoyed this mathematical challenge!

Well done Richee!

Well done Richee for being respectful of others and responsible in the classroom. 

We all appreciate your efforts. Keep up the great attitude!

The Puriri 'Maunga Munch'

Exciting times are upon us! The six classes from the Puriri team have worked hard all year. To celebrate, we are planning a special trip up Owairaka mountain to have a picnic lunch. We're calling it the 'Maunga Munch'. We have been learning about healthy eating, the different food groups, and a balanced diet. At the moment we are planning our picnic lunch based on what we have learned. Here we are using supermarket online shopping tools to plan our healthy lunch making sure that we stick to our budget we have to spend. Not as easy as we thought, but important life skills. We can't wait for the Maunga Munch on Friday 30th of November. Parents are welcome to come along!

Hip Hop Lessons

It has been cool to have a couple of hip hop dance lessons at school recently. We have some talented dancers in our class and we all enjoyed learning a dance together and even having a dance battle.
