Every day in Room 16 we put a 10 cent coin in our 100 day jar. After every 10 days we do something special.

170 Day
On Friday the whole junior school made paper planes, 170 paper planes!

We all lined up along the field, aimed and 170 planes went soaring through the air.

Then we experimented with our planes to see what they could do.

 Ready, aim, fly!

160 Day
What do you do with 160 crepe paper ribbons?

 As part of our flying inquiry, we were wondering why plastic bags fly.We made plastic bag kites to see how they flew. We needed tails for our kites. There were 20 of us at school, so 160 shared between 20 gave us 8 paper tails each.

We had great fun flying our kites.
150 Day

  We read the book about Rainbow Fish, and decided to make our own Rainbow fish but put 150 scales on our fish.

We drew our coloured our rainbow fish, and then counted 150 scales to stick on.

 It took a bit of glueing, and some of us couldn't fit 150 scales on our fish!

Don't our rainbow fish look amazing!

In groups we collected 140 things, then we had to make them into a picture.

120 Day was PYJAMA DAY.
All of the juniors brought their special toys to school. We wanted to see if we could count 120 special toys.

And we did, there was over 120, there was 140. That's a lot of special toys.

We got balloons, a big bag of ballooons!

 We checked there were 90...  10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10=90

And then we started to blow them up. Some of us had never blown up balloons before, but we all gave it ago.













We had great fun trying to get all 90 balloons in the air.

 This is what 90 balloons look like.

 Before we went home we played a game where we each had one tied around our ankle, and then we had to pop each others balloons by stamping on them. It was lots of fun.

 We each took 3 balloons home each. There are a few left, what shall we do with our last balloons?

80 Day
We went dotty for 80 day!

 We skip counted in 5s up to 80. We needed 16 groups of 5.

We collected all our stickers and stuck them on a piece of paper.
What can we turn this into?

70 Day
We had 9 toy dinosaurs in Room 16. That wasn't enough we needed 70.
Mrs Bloomfield had 60  toy dinosaurs in a basket. 9+60=69  but we needed one more.
We got one more out of the treasure chest and then we had 70.

We decided to make a dinosaur land. We put material over some boxes on the making table. We counted out 70 shapes, 70 counters, 70 blocks, 70 popsicle sticks, 70 match sticks and 70 rods to decorate dinosaur land.

We placed the 70 dinosaurs,





and then we played!

60 Day
This week our letter of the week is Q, Q for queen. We decided to make crowns so we could be Queens and Kings but we weren't just making ordinary crowns, we made 60 day crowns which we decorated with 60 things.

 First we counted out 60 things to decorate our crowns.











We counted out 10 of six different things, pom-poms, stickers, letters, triangles, sticks and  squares.
10+10+10+10+10+10=60

Once we had counted out our 60 things, we glued them on our crowns.

 Don't we make fabulous Kings and Queens in our 60 day crowns!

We worked out they must be in the library, so we went looking.

 We put them in a box,



and counted them into 10s to check there we had found them all.

 There were 16 of us at school today.
When we fair shared the 50 eggs and got 3 each with 2 spare.

16+16+16+2=50

Then we ate them!

40 Day
We got 40 toy cars for 40 day.

We cut them into pieces and made a big fruit salad.

Our fruit salad was delicious!

First we painted each others hands to make two handprints. Each hand has 5 fingers, 5+5 makes 10.
