Maths to 10

Today I worked with some of the children to see if they understood numbers to 10 using tens frames and by matching. Here is a video of Joel and Harry showing what they can do!

Week One - Term Two

Welcome back to Term Two. A huge welcome to all our new children! Today was our first day back and our learning for writing was "to be retell a story". We got to tell our story to Mrs T then drew a picture to go with our story. We hope you enjoy reading our stories! We are also learning to talk to each other and our teacher about our learning. Here is Kyle telling me what he was learning today during math time. It is so lovely hearing the children being able to talk about what they are learning!

Learn, Create, Share!

Room 4 has been learning to use Explain Everything to show their learning. This week we read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and decided to show the life cycle of the butterfly using this great app. We planted some swan plants a few weeks ago and went and found eggs, caterpillars and saw butterflies. We have created art around this topic and spent time looking at the life cycle. Here are some of the children showing their learning on this topic.

Developmental time

For the past two weeks we have been focusing on the alphabet, numbers and our spelling when we have developmental time in the morning. We match spelling words using magnetic letters, learn about upper and lower case letters, sequence the alphabet, look at number patterns to 10, thread beads to make our names and so much more! This developmental time allows us to help each other with our learning, get to know the new children in class, practice our spelling with a friend and settle us in for our day of learning. Here are some photos of our developmental time today.

Class Book - Where do Chickens go on Holiday?

Last week we couldn't find the chickens and the children thought they might still be on holiday. Here is a book we wrote about where chickens go on holiday. Please leave a comment about our book.

Smoked eel anyone?

Thank you Ella for sharing your smoked eel with us! Xavier was very brae and tried it and loved it!
