Ian is helping Aeren dig a hole and look what Aeren found on his helmet!
Some informative writing about different kinds of holes and a list of holes that Aeren has seen around his house. Below - Aeren discovered buttons are not all the same!
Brought to you by our very own Charming Charlie. Here is a Maths game to try at home.
To play the game you need some cards, a dice and
counters. How you play: First you roll the dice, whoever gets the highest
number can start. Each turn, roll the dice. Add the number on the dice to the
number on the card. If you get it right, you can move your counter forward on
the cards by the number on the dice. How you win is by getting to the end of
the card spiral first." By Charlie
Look at the variety of transport these guys have created or found! Epic!
"We looked around my room for different types of
transport. We found lots! I know that some types of transport have motors and some don’t. We also remembered some different transport that I have been on. My favourite is my motorbike! I also thought it was cool that I got to hold the
brake on the Esplanade train when the driver had to clear the track! By Ryder"
Blake did the sock challenge and estimated how many cars
would fit into the sock. "I guessed that 8 cars would fit into the sock. Loads of
space was left. In the end 24 cars fitted in to the sock! I then tried bigger
cars, and guessed that 7 cars would fit in to the sock. Almost! 8 bigger cars
fitted in to the sock. I learned that you can fit more smaller things into
a container than bigger things. Bigger things take up more space." By Blake
A bit of a different video to introduce the week this week. Here's one from our Cornerstone Staff We miss you guys! 😊
Thank you for sending in all of your Zookeeper Maths Challenges on Class Dojo Portfolio last week! I loved seeing your Mathematical thinking, not just your answers. You guys have awesome brains! Mrs Forrest xx
THIS WEEK'S TOPIC FOCUS I think if I wasn't a teacher, I would have been an engineer. Do you love solving problems and figuring out how to best achieve something? Why not try these challenges below! Something I'd like to mention first is shapes. Is their a shape that is the strongest? Is a circle stronger than a rectangle, square, hexagon or triangle? How could you test this? Is there a shape that floats best? Could you make a goat float in a boat?

James will reveal how many jellybeans are in the vase this Friday! All estimates need to be in the comments section by
12pm (lunchtime) on Friday 1st May.
Class Dojo Portfolio Maths Challenge
Record (DRAW, write and/or video) your thinking and post it in your Portfolio on Class Dojo.
Question 1 You are a world renowned zookeeper! Your zoo has many enclosures. The zebra enclosure has 4 zebras. Each zebra eats 2 buckets of grass a day. How many buckets of grass do you need to prepare each day to feed all of the zebras? Question 2 How many buckets would you need for a week? Extra for experts: Question 3 How many buckets would you need to prepare in a day if the zebras ate 5 buckets each? Question 4 How many buckets would you need to prepare in a day if there were 10 zebras and they eat 2 buckets each? How many would you need for a week?
If you would like to make an origami jumping frog like the one Matthias made in hisRed-eyed Tree Frog Calendar Challenge entry here's how...
“I learned how to make a paper frog from a
video on YouTube. I made it with Mum’s help because there were two steps that I found it quite hard. I also need to be very patient and careful. So if anyone
wants to learn, here is the YouTube link. I have made a video to show you how to make the frog jump!” :-) By Matthias
