Maths Capacity

Kahu testing the water.

Today I was learning about capacity. Capacity can be in altitude, speed, length, depth etc. To learn about capacity, we had five containers, water & measuring cups. First, we estimated how much water each container held & ordered them in the order we thought they were. After that, we filled up the smallest container with water. We then found out how much mills it held. Then using the information from the cup we filled up with water, we measured the other containers. Finally we filled the rest up with water and found out how much water they could hold & see if we got in the right order.

I found out that capcity is the same as mass.

It was tricky putting the water into the containers.

I enjoyed finding how much water were in the containers.

When I had finished with the water, instead of putting it down the drain, I put in the butterfly garden

My Report

At Torbay School there is lots of opportunities for the kids to get involved in such as Tech crew, Kapa Haka, Pasifika ICT gate group & much much more. There is also opportunities that give the kids special privileges like being a student leader which lets you be a PE shed monitor, go to Rainbows End at the end of the year & take part in special activities.

Now, you may be wondering if Torbay School has any play areas? Well they do! There is three different playgrounds, one for the juniors, one for the middle School & one for the seniors so each different group of kids get their own playground. There also is two fields, & two courts. The top field, is for rugby, & the bottom field is for football (soccer). There also is a discovery room, twenty one classes, a hall, a Library & a tuck shop. There is also a car track so you can bring your toy cars to school & let them go down the track!

At Torbay School there are lots of unique possessions such as house points, cross country & mufti days. Mufti days are days when you can go to School in your own clothes from home!

Torbay School is a great place for children to learn & is run by the fabulous Mrs Wendy Sandifer.

When we were doing this we were learning about reports. A report needs an introduction & a conclusion. A report also needs facts & cannot have a personal opinion in it.
