Mat Caird (Ella's dad)came to teach us about volume and how it is needed in buildingjobs.In the first lesson he talked to us about how much concrete was in the slab outside and underneath Room 7.The method we used for this was width x height x length. Next he talked us about how to figure out the volume of a rounded object. We pretended that the box was rectangle and we figured out how much the corners volume was and took it away at the end. We really appreciated Mat coming and sharing his maths knowledge with us.We can see Maths needs to be used in most jobs we might have in the future.

On Tuesday 11th June Year 5 and 6 children joined other schools from the Peninsula Cluster to take part in a gym festival. It was held at the Bayfield High School gymnasium. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the activities. We had been practising for a few weeks and we enjoyed performing our routines and mixing with children from other schools. Thanks to Andersons Bay School for organising this event and to Bayfield High School students for helping with the activities.
