Room 12 At The Zoo

Last term we visited Auckland Zoo.

Here is the story we wrote together after the trip.

 

Not Now, Room 12

We read 'Not Now, Bernard" by David McKee. This was a fun story. We came up with our own versions set at school. Here are a few of the stories:

Goldilocks and the three bears

We have been reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears as part of our mathematics.  We have been learning about big, medium and small.  We liked the story so much, that we have written some stories about Goldilocks.  Here are Zaahira,, Lyvia, Katalina, Saanvi, and Shivali's stories:

Three bears went for a walk. Goldilocks said goodbye to the bear. The bear was so happy to see Goldilocks. They ate the porridge and Goldilocks was so happy too and they all said good bye together and all ate the porridge together. They all were happy.     

                               Zaahira

“I found a house,” said Goldilocks. 

"It was the bears house Goldilocks," said Lyvia.

She saw three bowls.

Lyvia

When Goldilocks came in the house she ate the porridge.  It was hot.  She sat in the chair.  Next she fell off to sleep. Then Papa bear and Mother bear and Baby bear came in the house.  Goldilocks ran away.

Katalina

There was a girl named Goldilocks and she found a house and she ate all the porridge.

Saanvi

The three little bears growled at Goldilocks because she sat on the baby bear’s chair.

“And that’s why Goldilocks is mean,” said Shivali.

Week 6: More, Same, Fewer

This week we were learning how to sort and compare things.

We were learning what more, less, same, fewer, most and least mean.

First we sorted our shapes:

First 'Etimoni and Rahil shared out the shapes.	Aribah and Saanvi sorted by shape.	Lyvia sorted by colour.
Jeff sorted by colour.	Garland sorted by colour.	Chervelle sorted by colour and shape.

Next we worked out which object we had more of:

There are more cars than boats.	There are more trucks that cars.	There are more yachts than cars.
There are more rabbits than cats.	There are more fish than ducks.	There are more yellow shapes than green shapes.

And we worked out what we had the same of:

There are the same number of orange and blue shapes.

Terri, Zaahira and Steven also worked out which objects they had less, fewer or not as many of:

There are not as many cheetahs as alligators.

There are not as many goats as sheep.

There are not as many cheetahs as zebras.
