World Famous in New Zealand
WOW... what a brilliant first week back!
Mr P and I are so incredibly proud of how all of the students adapted to the new programme. We are now joining our two classes for reading and Mathematics each day. Grouping is flexible which allows us to cater for individual and group needs.
For the first 5 weeks of term, we are focusing on numeracy. The new timetable is below. Students did a great job working out where they needed to be and what they needed for each session. Well done!
Our combined efforts on Mathletics means that we are 'World Famous in NZ' after just one week.
25 students achieved Bronze certificates for scoring greater than 1000 points on activities.
2 students (Declan & Angus) were awarded Silver certificates for achieving their 5th week of greater than 1000 points. We are well on track for achieving Gold certificates by the end of 2014!

This has been a much better week in terms of completing Mathletics activities. A new set of revision activities have been set for this week.
Remember, students can continue to access Mathletics over the holidays (if they can squeeze it in around all the fun that they'll no doubt be having!). No set activities will be allocated over the holiday period, but students are free to complete activities of choice.

The WHY behind the Area of a Circle
In Mathematics this week, we have continued our study of the measurement strand.
In particular:
Perimeter and area of a: square, rectangle, triangle and circle (circumference)
Volume of a: cube, rectangular prism, triangular prism, cylinder and cone
We have been learning Karate Maths to help us remember the formulas for each (ask your child to demonstrate!). It is important however, that we understand the WHY for each... this is not so easy!
I have included a video below which helps to explain the WHY behind the area of a circle. Check it out!
