Mrs Stone and baby Ruby :)

 Earlier this morning all of Team 5 had a meet with a special guest. Mrs Stone and her beautiful baby Ruby had joined a meet with us. She was so cute! :)

Each class got to talk to Mrs Stone and ask as many questions as we wanted. Since Mrs Stone was originally Room 4's teacher we got to spend extra time with her. It was fun to see her again and with her baby. Room 3 even sang Ruby 'twinkle twinkle little star'. I think it was a great way to start the day, I'm sure everyone was happy to she Mrs Stone again. 

DIMIC task - Cycling

 Hello, welcome or welcome back to my blog. 

Although today we didn't have a maths meet I decided to do this short and quick little DIMIC task. I solved them differently but with the same thinking, just doubling the number (as he goes twice on the same route) and multiplying it by the amount of days. 

Bryde's whales

Hello! Welcome or welcome back to my blog.

Today we had an extension meet where we continued talking about one of the endangered whale species in NZ, the Bryde's whale.

I found 3 interesting facts on the whales to share with you along with a few things we can do to stop their population numbers going down. I found out that one of the main causes of death are collisions with big ships, plus some of them get impaled on a ship's bow and dragged into port. With less ships around they would be in less danger. A more simple solution that anyone and everyone can do is to keep our environment clean by doing little things like picking up rubbish.
