Maths and Writing in MR

This week we started to have a look at measurement. We started by comparing different lengths with cubes. We had to use a starting point and know where our ending point was. Some of us that finished early used our hands to measure the length of tables, rulers and other equipment around the classroom.

This week we got to go down the yellow senior slide. We are not usually allowed on this slide as it is just for the big kids. We all had a turn going down the slide and then we came back and did some fabulous writing. We were learning to use adjectives and similes in our writing. Here are a few examples:

"Weeee!" Today in MR Class we went to the big broken slide. When I lined up with 25 other children I felt nervous because it was a little bit broken. Yay now it's my turn! Splash! Oh no, I got a little bit wet from the giant slippery slide. I had a giant smile on my face. I hope I get to go on it again with the awesome MR Class. By Petro 

"Ahhhhhh this is so fast!" On Thursday MR Class went to the fast and cool slide. We lined up for our turn. "Finally it's my turn!" I clonked up the stairs. 1 2 3 4 5 GO! Wooooosshhh, zoooom! I went flying down the slide. I felt dizzy after that. "Oh no! Not again!" By Yvonne

Bump! Today MR Class went to the big kids slide. I was so excited. When it was my turn I got a big fright by the bump on the slide. It was as long as a snake and it was as slippery as a snail. By Tessa

Splash! I went on a wet slide. Today MR Class went on the big kids slide. Max Wallace went first and I got to go second. Everyone was in line and we had to take turns. If that slide was a tower it would probably be about 20 metres tall. The slide was as bumpy as a mountain. It went in different directions. It made me feel very happy. By Toby
