2015 Pet Day

Our Visit from the S.P.C.A.

Today we had two human visitors and two dogs from the S.P.C.A. Laura came to talk to us about how to behave around dogs in preparation for tomorrow's Pet Day.

In her first slide Laura told us that you don't really know if a dog is going to bite or not just by looking at it.

 Then we talked about what to do if you see a dog running around at the park,

 meeting new dogs and being safe with the dogs that we know.

She also talked about being safe with our scooters.

ho came to talk to us about dog safety.

Fair Shares

This week in Maths we are starting our unit on Fractions.  Today we looked at a numberjacks clip on You tube about Fair Shares. Then we shared the leaves with the koalas.  First of all we had 8 leaves and shared them with  2 koalas.  Later on we had 3 koalas and then 4 koalas that we had to share leaves with.

We also had objects such as brush and shovels, cups and saucers, watches and buckets and spades.Sometimes we had 2 people to share the items with and sometimes we had three people.
