Exploration

Today for exploration we had all sorts of creative things happening. Ella and Alice are doing up 2 of our class chairs. They were busy sanding today and it was hard work! We will keep you updated with their progress.

Final maths challenge.

We won today's maths challenge. We had 3 of our star mini ballers go outside and see how many goals they could shoot in 2 minutes. The average was 8. We decided because Paul would be double skill full that we would double 8 to come up with our guess of 16. Paul shot 17 goals so we were the closest!! Thanks Paul for helping us out with our last challenge for maths week!

Maths challenge day 4

Here is our maths challenge for today. We are going to create a big graph on the court so we can see visually which eye colour is the most common at Ranzau School. What do you think is the most common?

Maths Challenge - Day 2!

Today's challenge was: If all the children in our school lined up (shoulder to shoulder) how long would our line be in metres? All of the classes worked hard to try and estimate the distance. There were lots of different strategies being used!  Room 5 got the exact measurement - 43.5m! They were spot on!  Well done Room 5.  Room 1 and Room 6 were really close too! They were within 10cm of Room 5.  Tomorrow's one is a good one too!
