Second Class Room 6: Playing Cards

Last week in Room 6 we were learning about card games with our KWL chart.  We asked our parents to see what card games they were playing when they were young.  Some of us also asked our grandparents.  They liked to play Macao, Old Maid, Snap, Switch, Blackjack and Poker. We learned to play Go Fish and Old Maid.  They were fun games.  We ask Ms. Looney if we can play them everyday!  If you would like to see photographs of us playing cards, click...

Second Class Room 6: Fun with Numicon

All week we had fun playing with the Numicon.  Numicon are little shapes with numbers of circles inside.  It was like playtime when we were learning maths.  Numicon helps us with our maths.  It helps us learn.  We even used it to count in Irish. Sometimes we have challenges with our Numicon.  We had to use only one type of Numicon shape to cover the whole board.  If you used 10s to cover the whole board, you would only need ten of them.  If you were using 5s, you would need twenty of them.  If you were using 4s, you would have twenty-five. Numicons are fun to use!  Numicons are the best! For more photographs, click...

Second Class Room 6: Collecting Data

On Tuesday, we walked to the Citywest Hotel bridge.  We were collecting information about the vehicles on the street.  We call that data.  We were counting how many vehicles went under the bridge.  We used tally marks to help us record.  We had to be very careful on the bridge and walking on the footpath. When we came back to the classroom we drew a graph using the squares in our copies.  The cars were the most popular vehicles.  Motor bikes, tractors and buses were the least popular vehicles.   To view more images click...
