Herbivores and Carnivores

Today Room 6 has been learning what a herbivore and carnivore is.

Hoani has learnt that a herbivore is a dinosaur that eats plants and it has flat teeth. Glaceous has learnt that herbivore walks on four legs and it eats plants.

Kaylee has learnt that is a dinosaur that has sharp teeth and walks on two feet with arms at the front.

Kalyx has learnt that both types of dinosaurs lived millions of years ago, both are dinosaurs and reptiles.

We made some really cool venn diagrams to show what we have learnt.

Measuring with lollies

This week in maths we have been learning how to measure things. We started the week by talking about shorter and taller, wider and thinner. Yesterday we started using the cubes to measure objects in the class and talk about how long things are. Today Whaea Katie thought it would be a good idea to do something fun and we used jet planes and jelly beans to measure lines.
Check out the photos below of us working with our buddies to uses the lollies to measure:

Here is a video of what we did:
