Miss Tse’s homeroom began the week with measurement. When we lay down, our super-measurers traced around our bodies like this.
Maybelle is tracing around Tony. Aaryan is measuring how long Zeiarus’ arm is. Aron and Zara are working on some connecting cube measurement activities.
We also made rulers by using 1cm cubes and putting ticks and numbers on a piece of paper. Here are some of the colourful, wonderful, short and long rulers we made:
Some of us also measured different objects around the classroom:
Evee – “I measured a pencil (7cm), caddy (13cm), pen, Miss Tse’s book (18cm), the voice-o-meter (19cm), a small dice (3.5cm), scissors (10cm), a whiteboard (29.5cm), a whiteboard cloth (10cm), a whiteboard pen (14cm), the thank you ticket box (11.5cm), a drink bottle (6.5cm), a gluestick (3.5cm), and the gold ice-cream box (14.5cm).”
For circle time, we played a game where we drew each other’s faces on a piece of paper without looking at the piece of paper.
Emjae – “It made me feel happy because I couldn’t look at it and the pictures were funny and the pieces were a little bit out.”
Sophia – “It made me feel excited because I couldn’t wait for it to start.”
Zeiarus – “We were having fun. When I was drawing Leo’s face it was so funny because of the drawing.”
For our reading follow-ups, we have been doing lots of ‘make and create’ activities where we make a character in the story and talk about what happened in the story.
“Well done to Miss Tse’s homeroom for a great week of measuring, thinking, reading and learning!”
