Can We Divide?

By Anonymous -
On Monday, Room 6 used Math Talk Moves to get us thinking about all of the different strategies we know to solve Division. Miss Stuhlmann wrote 80/4 on the whiteboard and then gave us time to think about all the different ways we could solve the problem. When then took turns to share our strategies to the class and have a discussion about which ones we use the most and which ones we would like to learn.

We came up with:

- Equal sharing using skip counting
- Halving and then halving again
- Splitting factors
- Reversibility (using multiplication instead)
- Place Value
- Short division

Miss Stuhlmann also introduced us to Equal halving. Come and ask one of the room 6 students to explain how to use these strategies, we love to share our knowledge.

Chinese Lion Dance

A huge thank you to the AMAZING E-Pacs Lion & Dance Group for coming to Sunnyhills to show and teach us about the Chinese Lion Dance. We had so much fun listening to you and now know so much more about Chinese New Year. I really loved when Tracey the lion dancer put on the costume and showed us how to do some of the lion dance steps. Which part did you like? Please check out the videos below:

Continuing on from our amazing lesson with Mrs Lee in the Exploration Station, we have been working on our projects to share our knowledge on how to be safe and strong online. It is so important that we are aware of the dangers that could happen and what we can do if we don't feel safe. We really love coming into the Exploration Station where we can create games online with Scratch, film videos with our friends and make wonderful models and game boards. Rebecca and Danielle have already created and completed a video showing what they know about being safe and strong online. Check it out below. And here are some action shots with projects in the making.
