Learn Create Share

Room 11 and room 8 went to the library so that room 11 can share their ebook to room 8 children. I was reading to Precious. My ebook was about basketball. First I read the ebook to her and then she read it. I helped her when  she got stuck with a difficult word. I think that learn create share is good because it is helping children to learn. I hope we do this again next year.

Divison

I am learning to do division. In this game you have to drag the right answer and put the clothing on to a person. I used multiplication to solve my question.
So if 7 x 6 = 42 that means 42 ÷ 6 = 7. I think I need to work hard on my divison because I want to move to another group in maths.

Today I have been learning about vegetable dyes. As you can see this is beetroot dye. It is bright. I thought the colour was the brightest on the toweling but not on silk and cotton. I had an awesome day today and I hope we do this next year.
