Today we have been working with coding in scratch again.  We linked this to our learning in class which is about space and ROCKETS which we are VERY excited about.

Maths Problem Solving

This week children in Team Maunga have been working on a problem that requires sorting, grouping, classifying and discussing their ideas.  It leads to lots of discussions of how to represent numbers and even looking for numbers to add together to quickly find out answers.  Fantastic stuff Team Maunga

Here are a few photos of groups sharing their ideas with the class.  Well done guys.  Can't wait for next week.

New Fish Tank in Team Maunga Iti

Today, Tyler's nan came to Maunga Iti to visit us and bring us a fish tank and brand new filter from Tyler's Uncle Mike. Inside the fish tank is seaweed and sea snails. Sea snails clean slime off the tank. This weekend, Tyler will catch tadpoles that we will put in our fish tank until they grow legs and become frogs.We are so excited! Thank you to Tyler's Uncle Mike for the donation to Team Maunga Iti.
