Parent Teacher Student Conferences - THIS WEEK

It's is great to see some parents have booked in for Parent Teacher Student conferences this week. There are still a few gaps to be filled. 

As mentioned in the newsletters this term you can book your own conference time on the school interviews website and enter the code: 95E76

If you do not have internet access,

you can contact the school office and they will book a time for you.

Due to conferences we will have a half day on Tuesday and students are able to wear mufti. 

Narrative writing - 20 Character Facts

In Room 2 we are busy writing narratives.  To get us started we created a WANTED poster for the main character of our narrative. The idea was to write 20 character facts, this will then help us with the next step of building a sequence of events. Here are some examples: 

Fractions - how many ways can we show 3/4?

This morning Miss Peters and Mrs Bradshaw were team teaching Fractions. Before we started learning about - using patterns to find fractions of shapes and sets or converting a fraction to any equivalent fraction we had 5 minutes to write down all the different ways we could show 3/4.

Here is a sample of what we came up with:

Through doing this 'hotspot' we found out that we have a few experts in this class - some were experts in equivalent fractions, others were already experts in using decimals, some used discrete data, others used continuous.

Last week we did something similar using Padlet:

How many ways can you show 4/5? Write them down in our comments box below.

Term 3 Week 6 Homework

This week's homework is very similar to last week's, but there are one or two differences. Do you talk
about the Fish Philosophy at home with your family?  If you do this week, you can have a 'Can Do' signed off. I wonder if anyone will complete the whole sheet this week?  There are a few people who got close last week.  REMEMBER you must have all 'Must Do's signed off for your homework to be considered completed. FYI - homework books are looking very organised and up-to-date by almost everyone in Room 2. Keep up the great work!
Due next Monday - 9th September.
