Wine Gum Shapes!

Term 3 has got off to a great start in Room 6! We have been doing all sorts of different experiences for our recounts during Writing.

This term we have been doing Geometry in Maths and Miss Brown challenged us to create a 3D shape using just wine gums and big toothpicks or skewers as she liked to call them. It was really hard to make some of the shapes stay still long enough to take photos!

Some of us challenged ourselves to make harder shapes like pryamids and rectangular or triangular prisims. After we made our shapes it wa time to eat the wine gums!

After that we had to write a recount about what we did and how we made them. We all agreed that our favourite part was getting to eat the wine gums because they were yummy!!

Have a look at our photos below to see all the cool shapes we made...

Tyrone is concentrating hard so he can make a cube out of the wine gums and skewers.

I wonder what shapes the children at this table are making?

 Josh and River have made pryamids. One is a square-based pyramid and the other is a triangular-based pryamid... Can you guess who made what?

Have a look at Mere and Saiyan's giant rectangular prisim! Good work girls. Mere is having to hold the corners so that it doesn't fall over!

 

These are the 3D shapes that I know

This term in Room 6 we have been doing Geometry for Maths. Before we started we didn't know many things about this but over the last month we have learnt HEAPS!

We got to listen to this awesome song that helped us learn the 3D shape names... Take a listen!

3D Shapes that I Know

We got to do lots of fun activities while learning about the 3D shapes. We got to explore our classroom and the playground to find 3D shapes, we got to build a ramp and test which shapes would roll or slide (most of our predictions were correct) and we got to do heaps of mystery bag activities to describe and guess different shapes! Check out our photos below...
 

Will is testing out his rectangular prisim to see if it will roll or slide? What do you think it did?

 Caleb is testing his classmates by describing a 3D shape and getting them to guess what it is. I wonder what he had!?












This group is making their predictions about what their shapes will do. Alex had a sphere and Tamsin had a cylinder... Do you think they rolled or slid?

Our New School Council Representative!

Sadly last term we lost our school council representative in Room 6. She moved to a new school. So it was up to us to find a member of our class to replace her!

We decided as a class that our representative should be a boy or girl who...

• Is nice/kind
• Is a good friend
• Helps others
• Shares
• Is respectful to teachers and other children
• Does the right thing
• Has good ideas to help our school

Then we had a vote. We had to write the name of somebody, other than ourselves, who we thought met all these requirements. Room 6 chose...

Tamsin!!!!

Congratulations Tamsin, we all think you will do an awesome job being our school council representative.
