Pattern and Algebra!

For the first 2 weeks of Term 4 we have been learning about Pattern and Algebra. We have been doing lots of fun activities in class to practice what we are learning!

We are fantastic at making patterns and saying the rules. For example if a pattern was orange, orange, banana, orange, orange, banana the rule would be AAB. 

You could help us practice at home by making patterns with anything around the house (pegs, cutlery, our toys etc) and getting us to tell you the pattern's rule! 

                      

                        

              

                   

Aaron's Tooth!

Today Aaron lost his first tooth while eating his Healthy snack. We can't wait to hear if the tooth fairy visited him! 

Welcome to Term 4!

We have had a GREAT start to term 4! Check out how awesome we were on the first day back. We all had ourselves sorted and sitting beautifully on the mat ready for the roll as soon as the 9 o'clock bell rang! We are amazing self managers, what a way to start off the term! 

Miss Crowther was so impressed. She sure is lucky getting to teach us :-) 

           

Our Holiday Maps!

We had a great first day back at school today! Miss Crowther and Mrs Lunn were super impressed with how onto it we were after the holiday break. We really are pretty awesome ;-)

Instead of 'normal' Writing today we drew maps of somewhere we visited over the holidays. We had to label our maps and could write little notes or a big story to go with it. We loved doing this and our teachers thought we did a great job! 

                 

                 

THANK YOU!!

For our Market Day yesterday we managed to raise a whopping $468.70 for the Ronald McDonald House! This is amazing and even more than our teachers expected! We want to say a HUGE thank you to all the families that supported us and our Market Day! :)

OUR MARKET DAY!!

WOW! What an amazing day we have had. Today in Piako 2 we finally hosted our Market Day! We have been working so hard all term to learn all about needs and wants, social responsibility, economic roles, branding, and advertising as well as using the information we learnt to both choose and make our products to sell.

Our hard work paid off today! Everyone LOVED our products and almost every stall sold out! We loved having the opportunity to be both retailers AND consumers today, lots of us went home with goodies we had purchased. 

We have had the BEST DAY!!!!!!

Social Responsibility

Last week in Piako 2 we learned all about Social Responsibility. We WONDERED what we could do with our own profits from Market Day that could help other people. We brainstormed lots of different ideas together and eventually voted on what we thought was the best option. The charity with the most votes was the Ronald McDonald House! This charity is very important to us in Piako 2. Some of us have even stayed there ourselves when our siblings or family members have been sick.

We can't wait to see how much money we can raise for them!
