TWILIGHT SCHOOL







On Wednesday 18th May our school had a Twilight School day. We had pizza and gelati . Also our parents came in to watch and help us work. When we came to schoolwe had to go swimming after school started. During dinner time the choir, school band and school aerobics team performed in the gym. Lots of parents came. At dinner time we got our gelati then everyone was playing in the sunset. It was AWESOME.

SPLASH!!! as we start in the morning.Your probably thinking why on earth are we going swiming in the morning.Well,on wednesday the 18 of May we had a sensational Twilight school day.We had pizza and gelato for dinner.You dont get that every day!We went out to the play-ground at 5:00pm as the sun slowly set so did some kids eyes.As the sun peacefully set 'yawn'even I was tired but that din't stop me from loving this day.The whole purpose was for parents to come in and see their children's work. Instead of Open night we had Twilight School. Twilight School starts at 1:00pm amd finishes at 7:30pm.

SMARTIE MATHS

We were investigating fractions in maths. To help us with our investigations we all had a box of smarties. First we had to open the box and count how many smarties we had. Then we sorted the smarties into colour groups. Next we counted how many colours we had in each group. If we had 15 smarties all together and 4 of them were yellow we wrote that 4/15 were yellow. After we had written the fractions for all the colours we then added 2 colours together and wrote the fraction. Eg: red were 5/15 and blue was 3/15 all together it was 8/15.Finally we added all the colours together and found that they came to one whole 15/15. Lastly we got to eat them. YUM!!!
