Probability in maths


In maths, we've been learning about probability.  Did you enjoy watching the video Zulfi, Hunter and Josh made?  They were talking about probability words like

certain
more likely
possible
maybe
less likely
impossible
never



What do you think about these questions?






You might even like to practice your probability learning at home:

Year 1, more or less likely
Year 2, more, less and equally likely
Year 2, certain, probable, unlikely and impossible



You might even take 10 items at home (like forks and spoons) and ask mum or dad if it's more likely or less likely to have a spoon... you could even try to trick them by asking what the chances of you having a fork would be!

Healthy Eating!



For Concept, Mrs. Freddy's writing group has been looking at healthy eating and what kind of food is healthy on the food pyramid.  

Here is a song that we performed to help us, and to help everyone at home!

Here are the words just in case!


Eat them everyday

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream,
Throw your sweets overboard,
So they can not be seen!

Fruit, veggies, milk and cheese,
Eat them everyday, 
Meat, eggs, bread and grain, 
Give energy to play!

Our concept learning is about water

Mrs Elliott's writing groups are looking at water.  How would these flowers help us find out how important water is to us? Some of flowers are in water, some are not.

"We were learning about water. We don't drink sea water, it is not good for you," said Micah.
"When you run and and drink water, water makes you cool off," said Jacqueline.
"We drink water because it helps us not get thirsty,"said Emma.
"When it is hot you will get sweaty when the sun is there, you need to drink water and have sun screen," said Sachintha.
