Payton's Maths Today

One of the Maths groups is learning to count on from the biggest number.  After working with Mrs, Bone the group had an activity where they turned over a number creature and then took turns rolling the dice to see how many to count on. Each person wrote down the corresponding number sentence.  Here is Payton's whiteboard with her answers.

Nature Study In "The Forest"

This Week's Maths

 We have been playing lots of place value games this week.

Today one group had a problem about 15 lollipops.  They had to put the nursery sticks into bundles of ten and put a rubber band around them.

In the next problem we had to get 17 nursery sticks and put 10 sticks into a bag.  We had one bag and seven left over.

Teara Reading

Teara read the Dr. Seuss book "Green Eggs and Ham" to our class today.  She did a fantastic job and is now reading it to Room 1.

Team 1 & 2 Rugby World CupToday

For Team One and Two Sport today we were divided into 14 teams.  Each team had its own country and flag.  The rugby winners were South Africa lst, 2nd Georgia and 3rd France. We got our photos taken with our leaders from the winning teams. We all had fun - maybe we have some All Blacks in the making!

Room 2's Cross Country Stars

Today at Assembly the Cross Country place getters all got a certificate.  Here are all our children who came 1st, 2nd or 3rd.

Place Value in Maths

One of the Maths Groups was sorted so that everyone had a partner.  Each pair was given a pile of sticks and they had to put them into bundles of 10 to find out how many they had.  Since we had the IPads today they could take a photo to show how many they had.

We have also been using the slavonic abaci and will be using beans and buses also.
