We have been busy in class creating work to present on the walls to make a colourful, exciting and useful classroom environment. Below are a few of the displays.
 
 
 
We have a new topic wall up and running. This display shows the staple foods that are eaten in a range of countries around the world. We used the internet to find information and working in groups we then went on to present the information. We were able to indentify that many countries eat similar staple foods. We also looked at the foods we ate at home and compared those eaten in other countries.






During Maths we use the Maths Wall to solve a problem that has been set by the teacher. Each week the problems change and we have to use our previous knowledge and new knowledge to help solve them.





We also have created a tool belt that we can use to remind us of the strategies that we have learnt. Each tool has a different strategy and when solving problems we can go to our tool belt to find a suitable strategy for that problem.
 
 
 


 
 
 
 
Please feel free to come in and let us share our displays with you :)

  1. Globalisation is a fun topic. Learning about other countries cultures and traditions. I studied Austraila with Kate Christe and Augie Williams. Did you know that Australia's staple food is Meat, Seafood, Fruit and Veggies. The contry is in the Southern hemisphere.

  3. WOW!!! Those displays look fabulous on the walls up there. It was a great time working about Globalisation. I think it was a very good idea using the tool belts. I can't wait until I reach up to stage 7! The maths wall looked fabulous too. It's a great way to challenge your knowledge. I wonder what we're going to do on the topic creativity.
