Well it
seems that we are finally seeing some good weather, so Rimu 3 decided to make
the most of it with some outside Maths today. Here’s what we’ve been up to.
In Rimu 3 we
have been learning about directions and what way is anticlockwise, clockwise, quarter
of a turn, whole turn, left and right. Mrs Lewis and Mrs Goh made a trail out
of chalk. We had to have a blind fold over our eyes (or just close them!) and
we had a buddy who told us to go left, right, anticlockwise, clockwise, quarter
of a turn, half a turn and a whole turn. It was pretty hard cause most people got
muddled up. Written by Madeleine Alosio
In Rimu 3,
for Maths we have been learning about directions. We have learnt some direction
words and had some fun outside. We used a trail of chalk, got a partner and
told them what way to go.
The words we
learnt and found out what they mean were…
Clockwise –
Turning right
Anticlockwise
– Turning Left
Full turn –
Spinning around completely
½ turn – ½ a
full turn so you are facing the other way
¼ turn –
Just ¼ of a full turn!
These words
were helpful to us when we did our trail.
