Anyone collecting?

 I seem to be collecting some Stat Attack Cards.

They seem to be a team of some sort! It says "Official Game Cards" on them.

I see the guys having fun with them on a tv commercial.

How do I play? 

An exercise in patience

 My garden is coming to life: Soup my turtle has woken up after her hibernation. She is enjoying sunbathing on her beach. The skinks are sunbathing in my garden. I took some videos of the skink and nothing moved! So I have just added a photo.  Look at the comparison of the video of the turtle.

Can you see any movement? You have to be patient.

Stone Soup

 Who would have thought you could make soup from a stone?

Have you heard this story before?
Have you heard a slightly different story?

The Chooks and ?????

Collected the eggs this morning to add to my egg bin. Can you guess which eggs are from the school chooks? 

Midnight Snowy and Flash are all laying. My two chooks are also laying

Where do the small spotty eggs come from? 

Can you remember the name of the animals we had hatch in The Cottage?

"Frances would know - she's always asking after them."

Please add your comments below. After the first student to comment and guess right, I will put up a photo!

Do you like Noughts and Crosses?

 

Nested Tic Tac Toe

This activity takes the noughts and crosses game and takes it up a notch. Ultimate tic-tac-toe takes a lot longer to play and has a few more rules.

How to play: First, you have to have one large tic-tac-toe board where each grid or square contains a smaller board.

X goes first and can place their x anywhere on the board.

The O player then must play in the grid corresponding with where the x played. Look at where the “x” player played, then compare that to the larger board and that’s the area where the O has to play.

When someone gets 3-in-a-row in one of the smaller boards, they get to place a large X or O on that board.

Players continue playing until there are three large Xs or Os in a row on the larger board.

Let me know if you enjoyed this game. It took me a long time to learn this game - I thought it was too hard - but then it was great. How did you go?

How well do you know the parts of human body ?

Puriri have nearly finished their learning about the human body.

Look at the following slides carefully and see if you can get the connections to the body. Discuss them with your family. (See how much you know!)

Body Crossword - Help needed!

I was setting up some work for my children when I found this crossword on my computer. I was pleased because Puriri are working on discovering about the body. I don't give anyone some work if I can't do it. Immediately I spotted a problem! There is no answer sheet. Look at 1. across - the largest organ of the body. Oh dear I don't know. The second clue is It covers your bones and muscles. Thats easy. Your skin. But is skin an organ? Please help me out of my dilemma! Can you do this crossword for me so I can use it. Draw squares up on paper and put in answers. I could really do with some help.

Thank you Malachi and Sarah for your awesome help see answers here or Niko's work here

Same or Different?

These are flowers in my garden. They are looking beautiful at the moment. Can you find some flowers to take a photo of? You could be very artistic!

I have labelled the pictures so it is easier to discuss them.

Look at slides for different ideas and then look around your garden or watch out on your walks.
