Jump Rope for Heart

On Friday we had a fun morning moving around the skipping stations for Jump Rope for Heart day.
Thank you Mr Dawson for organising such a great morning for us to enjoy.

 
 

 

 

Friday 14th August

Today was a very busy learning day.  Here is a sample of some of the things we did just this morning!

   
         

   

Who's at school?

Each day we use our clever maths brains to work out how many people are at school.

We find out how many boys and how many girls there are.

First we count the boys.  Manatu told me there were seven, because he knew that 5 on one side and 2 on the other made 7.  Then we noticed that there were 4 girls. Hazel knew this because she saw one empty space.

Timoteo reminded us that we needed to move the girls onto the boys bus to fill it up and make 10.  This makes it easy for our brains to do.

Then we had 10 people on one bus and only 1 on the other.  Jethro knew that this was 11 children at school.

Kahlany and Tauroa came late so we had to find out how many we had then.  11+2 was a bit tricky so we looked at the buses and saw 10 on one and 3 on the other and Jethro knew that it was 13.

Star Writer

Today's Star Writer was Hazel.  She worked hard to hear and write the sounds she needed.  She was able to use her butterfly card to find some words as well.  Great work Hazel, keep trying!

Maths group

Today in Maths, Timo, Fresha, Tauroa and Hazel were learning to read a number story and make sets to help them solve a problem.
