Room 6 students are scientists. Individually, in pairs and in small groups, students have chosen a "question" to investigate. Some topics are - What natural substance stains the most? Will vinegar speed up rusting? Which household substance reduces friction?

We have been learning about list poems. Here is a list poem that Olivia's friends wrote about her:

My friend Olivia....
has a wonderful smile like a sunrise in the morning
has a puppy dog kind heart
rubs my back when I am sad
dances like Autumn leaves in a wild wind 

Every week Room 6 apply their maths strategies to real-life situations. Here is one of the problems from this week.

1. Lucy has 64 huhu grubs. She loses 38 of them to Charlotte who finds them very tasty. How many huhu grubs does Lucy have left?

 Can you solve this problem?
