Science Fair and Calendar Art

As the term starts to wind up we have a number of exciting things happening.

Science Fair:

This will be held on Tuesday 8 September in the Multi Purpose space between 5pm and 7pm. Our class is presenting on balloon experiments between 5-15 and 5-30. there will be the opportunity to see work being done throughout the school as we celebrate science. if you wish to come along do so between 5-5-30 to catch some of what we have been doing in room 14.

Calendar Art:

On Monday the students will be coming home with an order form for calendar art. The art the students have created can be viewed in the classroom. Below are a couple of examples of their work. Each creation is made up of a collage of your child's own art as they have experimented with different techniques throughout the term. We have then chopped that art up for them to collage the art piece now created.

Class Trip:

In the last week of term we will be heading by bus into the Suter Art Gallery in town and the Nelson Public Library. The trip is an opportunity for the students to experience further art teaching and to visit the library where they can (if they bring a library card) get books out. Library cards for the Stoke library are valid at the town library. The cost of the trip is $4-00 and a permission slip will be coming home with the students on Monday.

Maths:

For the past few weeks we have been working on the students skills at making 10 and then 20. We are now moving to doubling and halving numbers from 1-20. Work at home could include getting your child to know their doubles and halves e.g. What is double 3? What is half 16 ... Students who are able to quickly recall these basic facts will find it easier as we use these strategies to solve more complicated maths equations.
