Geometry

This term in Te Maunga we have being doing Geometry. We learnt angles like 360, 180 and 90 percent angles. What I found tricky was drawing the shapes. Our learning intention was to make nets for containers. We also made a google drawing about geometry.

Flubber

In Te Maunga this term we have been making lots of experiments inspired by  fractions in maths.
All we needed was warm water, PVA glue and borax .

4 ¼ of Water  (1 Cup)

4 Cups of PVA Glue

and 4 teaspoons of borax.

We added it all together but it DID NOT work and it didn’t work because we we added too much water. Some kids also made another smaller  batch. But I think it didn’t work because we added to much glue and water and also the borax did not dissolve.

In The Beginning

This Term we have been doing activities based around Rangi and Papa. One of the activities was a slide presentation with questions we answer .Some people put the writing on their slide.Some people also made a comic strip about Rangi and Papa I didn’t because mine got lost.The whole class made a collage of something related to the story. I enjoyed answering the questions. What I found tricky was not getting frustrated about the collage taking so long.
