NUMBER KNOWLEDGE - We are learning to multiply (and divide) numbers by 10 100 and 1,000. Thinking carefully about whether our number should be getting bigger or smaller, whether it moves to the left or the right and how many 0's (place holders) it should have is knowledge we have been getting better at. Check out Tegan and Brady's tutorial they created - ka mau te wehi!!!

Carrot Cars
In week 9, we are participating in the inter-school technology event for 2013. These events involve great team work, clear communication, thinking out of the square and an ability to meet deadlines. Today in class Miss O'B provided us with a challenge involving making a car out of carrots. We had criteria that included...
1. Wheels that replicated the motion that wheels move in.
2. Our cars looked aesthetically pleasing.
3. Our cars travelled for 2m without falling to bits.
4. Our car was able to carry our lego dude.
5. Complete our planning, design and construction within 35 minutes.
Each criteria was scored out of 5. Congratulations to group 1, 2 and 5 who came out victorious today. An awesome effort Room 1 - I was most impressed!
