Mathmatics

Mathematics this term started out with a unit on statistics.  We have been learning how to sort and display objects into a graph.  We learnt about words like most, least, more, less and same and how to describe them using mathematical language.

Swimming

Our PE focus for the first part of this term is Swimming.  We have been developing confidence and exploring what we can achieve in the water.

Discovery Time Fun

For Discovery time today we were focussing on working together to create something.   Brodie and Reuben made a big marble roll together.

Brodie said "I was going to fill up the marble roll with Reuben to the top but we couldn't because we didn't have enough balls!"

Reuben said "Brodie held the marble roll up for me while I put on the glitter things to help hold it up so it could stand up and not fall over."

We felt happy working together.

Look at us working together to make a marble roll.

Discovery Time

At discovery time on Fridays we are learning so many key skills.    The children are loving the opportunity to explore and create as they try new things.  Each week we have a focus skill to help achieve success.

Parents and caregivers are welcome to come and see Discovery Time in action on Fridays from 9.10 until 10.20.

Look at some of the activities we have been doing.

Hairy Maclary

We went to the Museum to see the Lynley Dodd expedition to celebrate Hairy Maclary's birthday.  We had lots of help from our parents to explore the pictures from the books.  We spent time talking about the dogs and studying the pictures on the wall.

Nicky at the Museum

After we looked around, we all got the chance to sketch part of any picture we liked.  We worked hard to complete our pictures using Nicky's special art pencils. We also got to share ideas about the different dogs we could see in the display.
