A visit from Austen's guinea pigs

This morning Austen and his mum brought their guinea pigs to visit us.

We got to touch them and some of us got to hold them. They felt soft and fluffy and they were cute! 


And Thomas got a fright because the girl guinea pig had sharp claws!
Nova learnt that some guinea pigs have pink eyes.
April learnt that they like to eat lots of lettuce and grass.
Jackson learnt that they munch loudly!

Thank you Toni and Austen! We enjoyed learning about having a guinea pig for a pet!

I like St Patrick's Day because we can dress up in green. My Mum painted my face. I look good!

Fraction Fun

Yummy Maths! 

In Te Pihi we have been learning about fractions; half and quarter.

We cut some muesli bar squares.



Quarters mean 4 pieces.

Our group of four people got 1 piece each to eat.



Here is one whole watermelon.

Cut it in half. 1/2
Mmmm not enough to share yet.

Quarters? 1/4
Still only 4 pieces.

Eighths? Still not fair to share.

Sixteenths? Yes! Now there's enough for 1 piece each!


We love Summer!

It's so sweet!

And slurpy...


  
...And drippy!
