Caitlyn's maths challenge

The challenge was to make a 3 x 3 cube with 27 blocks. There were 3 blocks with 9 different colours. The idea was to have 1 colour on every face of the cube. I made 9 rods, each with 3 colours on it. I then made 3 faces each with 3 rods on it. Next I added the faces on top of each other to make the cube. Here is a photo of me with my cube.

I think it took me around 10 minutes once I found a strategy.

Rutherford's Den

It's all go here in Tangaroa this term!  In addition to our own science experiments in class, we have been exploring Sir Ernest Rutherford's contribution to the world of science in a series of trips to Rutherford's Den at the Art's Centre this week.

We learnt about his work, life and achievements.  We did some hands on play demonstrating some of the theories he worked with, and created our own carbon atom!
