Sunny Weather Maths

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.
