Printmaking

As part of our unit looking at endangered animals in New Zealand, we created some prints inspired by the animals, their habitats, and New Zealand.

These prints will be used for fundraising - contact the office to get your orders in for calendars, cards, and diaries.



Check out some of these links on our blog for more information about the animals and birds we have been focusing on:

Maths: The Cost of Building

For Maths today we were learning some geometry language like 'cube' and 'face'.  The context we were looking at this through was buildings.

We had several tasks to complete in our groups, including working out the cost of building materials and paint.

Check out some of the tasks below and see if you can solve the problems:

Each cube that is on the ground (1st story floor) costs $10
2nd story cube - $15
3rd story cube - $20
4th story cube - $25

What would these buildings cost?





What would the most expensive building cost?

How did you solve these problems?
