Room 6 at the Supermarket

Last week, Room 6 travelled to the supermarket to complete their Food for Thought programme.  We put what we had learnt about label reading into practice.  After we had looked at labelling of packaged food we then went to the Fruit and Vegetable aisle where we put all the fruit and veges into their colour groups. 

At the completion of the programme New World gave us a $50 voucher to spend on making a healthy lunch. Yum!

Magical Mathex Magicians

Carlton School's Year 5 Mathex achieved something special on Wednesday, by placing third in the Wanganui Mathex competition.  The team of Mikayla, Natalie (R4) Kahu (R15) and Room 6's very own Blake answered 13 questions before another school stopped the clock.

Very few teachers at the school can remember a better placing for Carlton School at Mathex proving this team is very special indeed. Watch out Year 6's in 2013!

Nova has visited our class this week as our Food for Thought nutritionist.

We are heading off to the supermarket on Friday.
