Week 5

This week we are having fun making sea creatures with salt dough again. It has been great for the children to work on improving their modelling skills.
Even though the weather is getting warmer we still have quite a few children with coughs and colds and so we are using a lot of tissues. We would appreciate if you could send some along. On a similar note if you have any stationary, especially whiteboard pens still at home we would love to have these for use in the classroom too.
We have started having brain food breaks in the mornings before morning tea. Suitable food to send along for the children to eat include fruit and vegetables.

Counting down

We are learning to subtract by counting down. This group are practising with materials.

This group are trying to work without materials. They have turned their number lines over. 

Place Value

Will and Mitchell are using playing cards to learn about place value. The aim of the game is to make the biggest number with the three cards that you draw. 

Assembly on Friday

Thanks for coming to our assembly on Friday. We had a great time playing our recorders!

Here Abigail is helping Harvey to play the recorder. Miro will be playing the recorder as their item tomorrow when they run the assembly. We would love you to come and listen to it.

Greer and George are measuring the area of a hoof print in teddy bears. It was 20 teddy bears.

Our Industrious Classroom

Harvey is practising spelling on the window.  Hailey is using a chrome book to do some math's on Maths -Whizz.  The group of children on the mat are making a diorama to show a sea creatures habitat. 

Ollie and Hadlee are researching to find out about stingrays.
