The PTA kindly paid for a percussion performance group called Strike to visit Winchester School last week. This instrument is called a Marimba. Murray used it to play a rainstorm song. Very apt for the Manawatu! They made music with flames. The drums were very loud and exciting. Kowhai Iti team wrote some stories about Strike and we made a card to give to the PTA to say thank you. Here are some of our stories.
We used the knowledge we gained from learning about weight and capacity to follow a recipe to make waffles and orange juice. We needed to be accurate with our measuring so that the recipes worked out. They were delicious!!
Maths in Motion We use our number cards to practice ordering numerals. Kowhai team have been using the Poly Plugs (meaning many plugs) to work with numbers. Some children worked in pairs to discover Tens Friends. They wrote equations for Tens Friends. Some children have been working on joining two sets together. We have spent time working with dice patterns to learn the number they represent and ways to record that number. The children are also being taught how to use a calculator to record a given number as well.
