ANZAC Day

 They shall grow not old, 

As we that are left grow old; 

Age shall not weary them, 

Nor the years condemn; 

At the going down of the sun 

And in the morning 

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM. 

WHEELS DAY

Yesterday was a really fun day for everyone at Waikowhai Primary. We got to wear mufti and bring our wheels to school. Some people brought in their bikes, rollerblades, skateboards and scooters. Someone even brought a little car that he could drive around in. A huge thank you to Ms Sands and the leaders for their hard work in organising and running this day.

Learning to find the halves of shapes and objects

We have been doing lots of hands on experiences to help us learn how to find the halves of 2D shapes and the halves of a set of objects. To find the half of the shapes, we first traced different 2D shapes onto coloured paper. Then we cut them out and folded them in the middle. We had to make sure that both sides were the same. Then we cut the shape into two equal parts to show the two halves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then we worked on finding the halves of a set of objects. First we had to count and make a set. Next we divided them into two groups to find the half. We had to make sure that we were being fair by putting the same number of cubes in both the groups.
