Week five already!

Wow, Rafe has filled two sticker charts - time for his Dr.Seuss one!

Miela is onto her second chart now, good job Miela!

We have been problem solving in our maths sessions and here you can see Mason making a line of three different coloured teddies...

Our task was to choose three different coloured teddies and find out how many different ways we could line them up...

Caitlyn is showing two ways she discovered... great problem solving,Caitlyn.

We are learning how to skip - it's really tricky!

We need to use our brains and co-ordinate our arms and legs, Zak is having a really good try.

Look at us go in the hall (it was very rainy outside).

Caitlyn started school this week.

Riley was new too, now we have two Rileys in our class, what a super name.

Our friends in Room 10 are our 'Maths Buddy' class and here we are learning to play games with them in small groups.

Ngaio children choose the games and you can see Jasmine loving helping Riley .

Ludo with just one counter each.

Rolling the dice and walking the number line the correct number of paces takes a lot of concentration.

Matching 'same' pictures on dominoes follows on neatly from our 'is the same as' learning from last week and developing into this week.

Kamryn was on her first visit - she loved being in our class.

Oliver had his first visit not he same day as Kamryn, we had a great time together.

Here you can see some of our 'is the same as' choices in our maths workbooks.

We are singing our alphabet and matching the letters as we sing, jumping our fingers from letter to letter.

Time for a stretch!

Discovery time- making our own Olympic medals!

Olympic obstacle course.

Olympic ball tossing.

Olympic balancing - we also had a P.M.P session running in the hall with Mrs H. and relay races with Mrs S.

Thanks for your donations for Daffodil day, everyone.

Another Problem solving activity - "Make a house for a teddy" 

I think this house is a bit small, Maddie, don't you??

Such careful work by Tyler.

Tahlia is making house for a family of teddies.

Noah found his first house collapsed so made one from dominoes instead and propped it up. Great thinking Noah!

Rafe'shouse has a door!
