The Same or Different?

We have been thinking and talking about how people are unique.  That means they are special in their own way.  We have also talked about how people are the same and how they are different.
Our "What if?" question today was - "What if everyone in the world looked the same?"

Yes, Rome and Cooper,  your parents would be very confused!  We decided that we were glad that we all look different!

Milk in Schools.

We have been having Milk in Schools for a while now and we have a good routine to follow so that it doesn't take up too much of our learning time.

When we have finished drinking our milk, we have to fold the carton down for recycling. 

When we first had milk, it was hard to fold the carton but we are getting better every day!  
Some children can fold the carton in 19 seconds!

We collect all the folded cartons and the milk monitors take them to be recycled.

Back in the classroom, we clean up any spilt milk on the tables and get on with our learning.

Reflecting on Reading

I wonder what the other reading groups can share?

Daily 5

We are trying some new learning at reading time.  We have to be very focused and make good choices!  We have to do alphabet and word activities, and read to a buddy. We read easy books to ourselves so we sound good when we read. We can also choose to make things, use the play dough to make letters and words, listen to stories on the listening post and do alphabet puzzles.  That's lots of choices and we can't do the same activity all the time!

Look at all the letters made of play dough.

We Are Special

Last week we wrote about what makes us special.

Do you like the photos we took of ourselves? 

  

Our Maths Challenges

We have been doing maths challenges for Maths Week.

In these photos we are working out how many tripods 

we can make with 18 sticks.

What answer do you get?

We all got 6 and we were right!

A girl was given one marble on Tuesday. 

Then she was given two marbles every day for a long time. 

What day did she get her 11th marble?

Working on the Ipad

We have been learning to use a new app on the ipad.
We can choose the things we want in our picture and then we can write about it.  We will put more of our work on the blog as it gets finished.

Subtraction is about taking away or even losing things!

We have been learning about subtracting and counting backwards!  We use maths equipment to work out the answer.  Sometimes we already know the answer because we have practised and we remember!

Working on the Ipad

Some children in room 2 did some work on the Ipad last term.

KC Clubs have started!!
