A nut free zone...

No nuts please...

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Room 18 is a nut free zone.

Please keep this in mind when bringing these products to school, as we have two students in Room 18 who are really allergic to nuts. We have talked about this in class and as a reminder we will have a sign on the door.

Many thanks,
Belinda

We are the Caretakers!

During our first week Room 18 become caretakers of their environment. They did an amazing job of tidying up the Bee and Butterfly garden. We have also started discussing creating a new garden opposite our classroom. We are thinking some new raised beds and beautiful art work to create a space worth looking after.



Taking a Chance

For Maths we have been learning about Probability. Our first task was to talk about what probability/chance was. We discovered it was a bit different to being given a chance when we did something wrong.  We then looked at the chance of flipping a head or tails on a coin. We also discussed the outcomes when we flipped the coin 30 times. Our results were very interesting.








Here is a link to the Mathematics Shed - it has some great problems to solve and ideas to make us think.
