Odd

The Yr 3.2 students of Ms Miranda were given a set of playing cards per group.  Children had to sort the playing cards in two sets: multiples of 2 and the other remaining cards.  Students gave different explanations about the sorted sets.  One group stated that the multiples of 2 are even numbers so the other set of cards had to be odd.  While the other group said that the multiples of 2 can be equally shared/divided. Later, each group had to draw groups of even and odd using symbols found on the playing cards.

Each group was given a task card with a set of instructions on them. Namely, they had to read the list of words given (each group had a different set of words). Then they had to categorize the words in 2 groups – qamrin / xemxin.  On the mini whiteboard they drew a sun and a moon. They wrote the qamrin words in the moon and the xemxin words in the sun.

factor

The Yr 6.2 students of Mr Matthew during a Maths activity, where they were asked to create a Factor House. The number was placed at the top of the house (on the roof), and the factors of this number were the windows of the house. Factors that when multiplied gave the given number, were placed next to one another. This helped the students to better understand the concept. They really had fun carrying out the activity and team work was a great success!

shakeThe school day can be very long and students need to be given breaks to stimulate their brains and to enhance their concentration. In these photos of the Yr 3.1 children are doing, what Ms Sharon calls, a Wake and Shake!  When the students’ energy levels drop low, the teacher allows students to get out of their seats and move about. Students listen, watch and dance to the Wake and Shake song which is displayed on the interactive whiteboard.

taste

 

During a Science lesson the yr 3.1 students of Ms Sharon were talking about the 5 senses. In the above photo students were focused on the sense of taste. They learnt about taste buds found on the tongue which help us taste things we eat, depending on whether they are sweet or sour. The children tasted different food with their eyes closed and relied solely on their sense of taste to guess what the food was – (carrot, broccoli, lemon, popcorn, cereal, chocolate and biscuit). All students guessed what their food was and really enjoyed the activity!

During Maths, the yr 31 students were talking about how to order a set of given numbers from smallest to largest. Numbers were compared by deciding which was the smallest or largest from a given set of numbers. Finally, the class talked about finding a number in between 2 given numbers. In a group work activity, the students were given a set of numbers and asked to find the smallest number, then the larger number and finally the number that falls in between.
