Garage Band Poems

One of our rotations during reading is to practise reading fluently. Sometimes we do this on the computer. We record our voices on Garage Band and then listen to see if we were fluent and if we used expression. This is one of Kathryn and Jorja's first attempts.
The class enjoys using Garage Band independently, they are so clever.

Wacky Hair Day!

Brightwater School raised $375.20 for the Nelson/Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust from our Wacky Hair Day.

The Variety Bash

The Variety Bash came to Brightwater School to raise money for sick kids. Vroom,

all the cars came in with yummy treats and a funny show. My favourite part was

the underpants trick. Woosh, water came outof the fire truck hose.

Today the Variety Bash came. The cars raced into the school. We got delicious

yummy treats. Lots of people had hilarious hats. When Variety Bash was here

we got soaking wet. The super hero show was hilarious and magic and he

picked two people to go up. MT meant empty.

Problem Solving

On Friday we did a range of problem solving activities for Maths.

One of our activities involved estimating. We found out this means to think hard and make a sensible guess.

Our problem was: How many cubes does it take to make a 1 metre tall tower?

We estimated:

Marcus - 15 Kathryn - 60

Taine - 30 Matthew - 60

Haylee - 50 Liam - 50

Jarrad - 10

Then we measured and found the actual answer.

Results: It took 54 cubes to make a 1metre tall tower. None of us were correct but Liam and Haylee were the closest.
