MEGA MATHS ACHIEVEMENT


For the month of May all of the Balmacewen Intermediate classes have been focusing on improving their multiplication knowledge. At the beginning of May Room 1 had a class average of 66%. Our final test was on Friday and our average is up to a whopping 90%. Well done Room 1 this is an awesome effort! Lets see if we can maintain this superb knowledge of our multiplication facts and now extend it to all or our basic facts.

TERM TWO

WOW... If you have been waiting for an update, here it is. We have had a busy term so far.
Next week I will put some of our pics from Orokonui up for you to have look at.

Room one students are developing some great reading strategies and they are putting their summarising skills into practice through their science fair research.

Science fair: How are you all going?
By now you should have completed stage A; Accumulated information around your topic. S; sorted this, highlighted and taken notes, and made an hypothesis. P; planned out how the rest of your project will progress over the coming weeks.

Now we are up to the I of 'ASPIRE.' You need to implement your plan, carry out your investigation/project, and complete testing etc over the next 3 weeks. Don't forget to take notes and collect photographs as evidence as you go.

Keep training hard and playing fair and competitively in your winter sports room one!
