Week 7 Term 1

This week in maths we have been learning to count sets of objects and write the number in each set.
We looked at the Gingerbread Man story in statistics and in pairs sorted objects that we would see in the story, might see and would not see.
 We tried  a new game of lacing to help develop our fine motor skills and make our fingers strong for writing.
We have now settled in to our routine of reading books from the class library  each day when we come in from lunch, next we  need to learn how to put the books back tidily!
Our sounds for this week were 'm' and 'd' can you guess which one we were learning about in this circle session?
On Wednesday Crystal's amazing speaking dog, Kaos, came to see us . I don't know who had the most fun, Kaos having so many tiny hands patting him or us having the chance to make a new canine friend.
 In art we looked at mixing a main colour with black or white to make tints and tones. Sam is planning to make these colour samples into something very tasty, can you guess what that could be?
There was a new, slimy, squidgy fun activity in this week's Discovery Time, take a look at the photo movie below and see if you can spot what it was.

    Hi Room 10,

    It's Fin's Opa here again. Good morning Fin.

    I remember the Gingerbread Man story from when I was your age. Just a little time ago!

    I also remember Nana making Gingerbread Men cookies for Fin. They were yum. They had cherries for the mouth, currents for the eyes and a coat made of white icing. Does anybody else have a Nana who makes Gingerbread Men cookies?

    Have a great week Room 10.

    Opa
