Chess Board Challenge

Today Miss Jeffery set us a challenge. We had to count how many squares were on a chess board. You may think that it's 64 but no, we had to count those squares and the bigger squares! We found out a pattern. We worked out that there were 64 single squares and 49 two by two sized squares. As they are both square numbers (8x8 and 7x7) we predicted that there would be 36 three by three sized squares, 25 four by four sized squares and so on. And we were right! So you can see our pattern. In the end all of them together is........ 204! We had lots of fun finding out and writing sums ( Miss Jeffery the most) we all had super duper FUN.

Swimming

For nearly two weeks we have been whole school swimming at Aquarena at different times of the day. We go from 11:00 to 11:45 with ten minutes to get changed back into our clothes. We have a bus hired to go around in a circle which then would pick up the next group! I am with Lorna who teaches the 'Tuna' group. 3/4C go in the bus with us too!

The grade 3s and 4s are doing fundraising because other contries is so unlucky and have dirty water to drink. We would like to raise enough money to buy a well for a country in need. So far the Level 3 parents have held a morning tea and today 3V had thier 50 cent morning tea. 4J are holding a drawing competition which will be open until 4th October. The topic is 'water' and entries are to be on A4 sized paper. We have some great prizes for the 1st and 2nd place winners in Prep-2, Grades 3-4 and Grades 5-6. It will cost $1.00 to enter the competion and the drawings will be displayed near the office. We hope lots of children from school will enter!

Marine Animals

In class we are making posters about marine animals. We had to do some research on our animal using the internet. We filled in a planning sheet first and then started our posters. Some people did stingrays. Some people did seahores. Some people did sharks and some people even did blue whales. There are thirteen posters up so far but there will be more. Most people said they liked doing there posters and some people said they didn't because they didnt know how to draw thier animals. I didn't know how to draw my animal but I still did well actually dont tell anyone but Miss Jeffery did the outline and I did the rest.
