Matai having been working on their imaginary budgets this morning for maths. We had some 50% of and 25% off sales. They had $200 dollars to spend in a range of catalogues with a buddy. It was great to see the children using their maths in a real life context. They are now able to identify that a quarter is the same as 0.25 or 25% and that half is the same as 50% or 0.5 as a decimal.
Also Matai children who will presenting their speeches in front of the school tomorrow are:
Jack - Dairy farming
Jamie, Scott - Homework should be illegal
Tonia - Caged animals is cruel
We wish them all the best, as we know they are a bit nervous about presenting in front of their peers and the judges. If parents want to come along they will be presenting between 9am - 10.15am.
