Making maths fun!


This morning Mathematics lead us to the great outdoors, our learners were put into the learning pit and was tasked with creating number problems to ten using materials. Each person had to think about their previous learning and then create a number problem and allow their partner to solve the equation by putting the correct number of blocks in the square.  Once the problem was solved the learner was then asked to justify/explain how they got their answer.






Lauren and Annabelle created 5 + 5 = 10





Carmen & Caius created 3 + 3 = 6


Lexi climbed out of the learning pit by collaborating with her pairs to solve this equation


Liam too climbed out of the learning pit by taking his time to think and consider his answer 


Alem and Rhianna discussed thoroughly the task at hand to gain a deeper understanding

WALHT make connections to our identity and other cultures around us

Today we took time to learn about different cultures and their art. Miss Rowe took a group to learn about aborigine art dot & cave art.

Aboriginies used dot art to tell stories and communicate - Miss Rowe decided to use the opportunity to make connections to our own learning and our hub identity. Together we made book marks for when we are reading our own stories and to mark these we used the dot art symbol for Star as we are hub whetuu/star.

Here are some of our learners creating their master pieces.
