Year 4 Perimeter Zoo
How do you consolidate your understanding of Length in Mathematics? Create your own scale version of a zoo of course!
Year 4 has been working hard to understand how to accurately measure length, appropriate equipment to use, application of which unit of measurement and converting between units of measure. Throughout the unit, students have explored real-world applications, the three-dimensional size of dinosaurs and estimated, measured and refined their own spaghetti and marshmallow buildings.
To put all their skills to the test, students were tasked with creating a scale model of a zoo. Each student received an animal and the required perimeter of their enclosure. Students then needed to explore the different quadrilaterals they could create and choose their design. Construction and decorative features were not only a challenge but then a flurry of inspiration and pride.
NSW Aboriginal Languages Week
To celebrate NSW Aboriginal Languages Week last week, students across the school participated in activities that exposed them to new Gamilaraay words, such as word of the day. Year 1 really enjoyed testing their knowledge by playing a Kahoot and learning new words to describe parts of the body.
