Jerry picked Ruma Ono some apples this weekend. We used our problem solving skills to figure out how we could share 8 apples equally between 16 people.  Tell your family how we solved the problem using fractions and doubles.

Our class and our tree in autumn


Today all 17 of us were at school, plus both our teachers. So this is us in all our glory! Aren't we a good looking bunch? We have welcomed Dylan into Ruma Ono as he started on the first day of this term.
 
We are looking at our tree over the seasons. Tell your family what season it is now, and what is happening to our tree.
 
As we are finishing up learning about space, we watched the following clips on how an astronaut sleeps in space, and what would happen if they cried.

Water in space

Today we watched a youtube clip on how to wash your hands and brush your teeth in space. Talk to your family about what happens to water in space? What is gravity? What is happening to the microphone during the video clip?

Here's how to wash your hands.

How do you think you would sleep in space? What would you eat?
