This week we have been learning how to represent numbers in different ways and how to use different strategies to solve problems. We have also been learning how to play a variety of maths games. The children have loved practising their maths skills in a fun way.

We have had lots of fun this morning exploring and playing with all sorts of fun things. It was awesome to try some new things today like the Bee Bots and gardening.   We had fun weeding the garden with Ms Wilkinson. We collected vegetables to eat and fed the weeds to the chickens! Seeds to plant in spring! George and Cohan love to climb.  Bee Bots The Making table is always a favourite. We are careful when we use the hot glue guns. Pierce's Lego creation.  Eva's paper creation. After we collected the food from the garden we brought it inside and cooked some of it. It tasted great!

The blue room invites a lot of creativity, teamwork and fun! Have a look at some the creations we have made together.

We have been enjoying thinking about different ways to group and sort during maths. We have looked at sorting people and things by birthday, favourite foods, favourite colours, age, colour and shape. We have had fun presenting our findings with pictographs. Have a look at some of our work! 

We have been working hard during reading. We have been practising lots of different reading strategies like looking at the pictures, using initial sounds and thinking about what makes sense. All children should be taking home a reading book every day to practise.
