The 25minute Challenge

Hi team,

This weekend I would like to introduce the 25minute homework to you.
This is how it works: 

You complete a piece of homework, any work, about anything, that takes you a minimum of 25minutes. Of course you can spend longer if you wish, but the purpose of this task is that you put in 100% effort for 25minutes and produce something creative.

Last year I had some great, unique, creative pieces of work that the class were proud to present.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Do your best!!

DUE MONDAY:-)

Turanga Mini Olympics

This term in the Turanga Syndicate we are holding our own Mini Olympics in the spirit of the London Olympics.

Students have been split into two teams - The Icebreakers and The Phoenix - and have been busy designing banners, logos, tshirts and trophies.

Here are some shots of the Fantastic Room 4 in action!

Outdoor Maths

Recently we have taken maths outside the classroom to see where we would need to measure perimeter and area in real life contexts.


With our rulers and maths brains at the ready we calculated the perimeter and area of different objects in the playground.


Here are some pics of the action:-)
