Instruction writing and fractions

Today in class we were learning about fractions for maths. We made sandwiches with a buddy and then cut our sandwich in to halves and then into quarters. After we did this we had a picnic on the mat and watched the America's cup. Then we wrote some instructions for how to make a sandwich. Our instructions were:

How To Make A Sandwich

1. Get 2 pieces of bread.

2. Get a knife.

3. Spread butter onto the bread with the knife.

4. Spread jam onto the bread with the knife.

5. Put one piece of bread on top of the other.

6. Cut your sandwich in half.

7. Eat your sandwich.

After we made these instructions we got Mrs Macatamney down to our class to have a go at following our instructions. They worked. She successfully made a sandwich!

Touch

On Tuesday we had Grant come to school and teach us about playing touch. Here we are having loads of fun:

Teddy Bear's Picnic

As a celebration of the Kowhai class completing their reading snake for reading at night we had a teddy bear's picnic. We also made a chocolate cake in class and had this too ( with ice cream). It was delicious!
