Simple machines!

We have been learning all about simple machines. Our favourite ones are levers and pulleys because they help us lift things. We have been playing with them in class to figure out how they work.

Fraction fun!

We have been learning about fractions in maths and our student teacher had a fun lesson for us. First we got to play with playdough and make pizzas! We were learning about halves so we cut our pizzas in half and shared them with a friend. Some of us even pretended to eat them! Then we traced around lots of shapes on paper and cut them out and folded them in half. We cut them down the middle with scissors and glued them into our maths book. Now we are starting to understand what a half means...next up we will try quarters!
