Being a Learner: Measuring Weight in Maths

We have been learning about weight in Kakano. We read the book Goldilocks and the Three Bears and we compared the sizes and weights of objects in the story. We then had to make Popcorn Cones for the Bears because they were going to the movies. We worked in groups to make a Cone each for the Bears. Daddy Bear had the heaviest, Baby Bear had the lightest and Mummy Bear had a cone lighter than Daddy's but heavier than Baby's. At the end of the lesson, we ate the popcorn!

Being A Learner: Tadpoles Come to Kakano!

In the holidays, Mrs Narbey managed to find the Kakano Team some tadpoles.  They are all at different stages from eggs to medium sized tadpoles.  Each class has some tadpoles to learn about.  They have some growing to do!  

Our frogs are Brown Tree Frogs which often also called Whistling Tree Frogs.  Here is some information about them and how to care for them.  





Here are some photos of our set up so far.
