Our first week back in Room One.

Hello everyone and a very warm welcome back to school after the easter holidays. This is our Friday 'reporting back' Blog of the week - thanks for viewing our post earlier this week that the children helped put together showing our shapes learning in Maths time.
We've been busy as usual and welcomed Amy to our classroom - we are missing our friends who went to Miss Affleck's class, but still get to see them at break times and during Wednesday Discovery time.
If you would like to see a full report of Discovery Learning come into the cloaks bay where each week is presented on display.
Enjoy the pictures and please leave a comment for us to share :)
A is our letter of the week and we are learning to form it the right way around - here you can see Dominic loving using our Activboard.

Hockey coaching - we were so fortunate to have good weather and to learn from Jamie on Wednesday, we even had a little game!

Shapes were a focus for us this week, classifying shaped according to the number of sides they have and describing the number of corners - we were grouping different shapes.

Teamwork makes the alphabet!



Looking for rectangles in class.

A close-up view of shape sorting into groups.

Some children chose two dimensional rectangle shapes, some spotted 3D shapes with rectangles.

Discovery usiing mosaic shapes.

Well done Sophie, completing your writing goal sheet!

Lyda spotted that the mat is a rectangle with four sides, two long and two short.

Lydia has completed her writing goal as well :)

Look at the square with a circle in the middle.

The door handle is a rectangle.

Music with our home-made shakers.

Rocco has dome great homework in the weekend for Janice.

The class were amazing and made themselves into a square then a rectangle by adding more bodies.

Welcome Amy who is now five and had her birthday in the holidays.

Here is our rectangle.

Show and tell is Monday and Thursday.

Ready for a drink and story after lunch!

Dominic has completed his sticker chart - well done!

During Topic Time we explored how the land changes from storms and floods - we went out to see the silk tree which fell down from outside our classroom.

Making cards for Mum - don't look too closely until after Sunday Mum!

Remember the tree?
