 Week 3-  Monday 1 November to Friday 5th November.


Hello everyone,

We are back again to give you a peek into  our week of learning.

The highlight of our week was the celebration of the Hindu Festival of Diwali.




Rangoli


Rangoli is an important part of the celebration of Diwali.

This colourful, circular pattern is painted on the doorstep of most Hindu houses as a sign of welcome.

The Rangoli pattern was great to link into  our learning  about symmetry in Geometry.

Here are some of our symmetrical patterns of the Rangoli.

Let's end our post with some expressions of Lockdown.

       




 We listened to, and watched "Bucket Filler ".

It inspired us to be a "Bucket filler" during this Lockdown time.


Here are some tips from Adriana.



Do you want to be a "Bucket -filler? ".

Share your ideas with us.

Take care everybody and remember to be kind until we meet up again with our next post.

    Kia ora Room 25. Wow, you've been so busy. I love the way you linked your maths work to the Rangoli patterns. Ka pai. And your acrostic poems are amazing. I'm really impressed with how you're being creative and sharing your learning with your teacher so that it can go up on here for everyone to see. Keep up the awesome mahi!
