Learning Post 4

Good morning everybody

I hope you are all finding fun things to do at home with your family.  Yesterday I started sorting out my garden for winter.

Today's learning challenge is all about maths.  We have been learning about measurement and I would like you to copy what we did with the gingerbread men.  Either out in your backyard or around the house find 6 items, organise them into height order, take a photo and email it to me (gatehouses@southhornby.school.nz) so I can post it here.  Here is a picture of what I did yesterday when I was working in the garden.



While I was gardening I picked some fruit and vegetables can you help me count them?  You can post your answers as a comment below.

How many tomatoes are there?  How many more would I need to make 10?

These are apple cucumbers. How many did I pick?  How many more would I need to have 15?  How many more to have 20?

These are figs.  How many did I pick?  How many more would I need to have 20?  Can you count them by skip counting in 2s or 5s?

Does anyone have any ideas of what to do with figs?  I would really appreciate some recipes or ideas about what to do with figs, I have heaps more ripening on the tree.

Today is the last day of the school term, so from next week you will be on holiday for two weeks.  Your teachers will be back on this blog from Wednesday 15th April.  Have a great staycation. I will be doing lots of catching up around the house and garden.

Stay safe, stay home.

  2. Your garden looks amazing Mrs Gatehouse. You are very clever to grow all those delicious things. I'm going to ask my mum for you, when I talk to her later, if she has any great fig recipes as she's a great cook. I'll let you know.
