Week 1 Term 2

Before we take a look at this week's adventures I thought you might like to see a picture of the special ANZAC Day assembly that the children were part of in the final week of last term.

This week in maths we have been focusing on odd and even numbers. This You Tube clip has helped us to identify odd and even numbers and we can even tell if numbers up to a million are odd or even!


We have continued learning more digraphs in our phonics lessons and worked on our word processing skills in ICT.


With Karina we thought of heaps of wow words to describe our ice-cream paintings that we did with Sam last term. Check them out in the entrance to Room 10
Fun times together.

On Thursday afternoon we had our first Fundamental Skills session with the teachers from 'No Child Left Inside", it was great fun and we have some very good throwers and catchers in Room 10.


We made a video of ourselves doing our morning Brain Gym exercises and thought you might like to see this clip showing part of this routine.
Through out the week we have been busy working on  a secret project for our mums. Here are a few behind the scenes photos and our special poem about our mums.


Friday was a very exciting day for me as it was the first time I had  been able to lead Discovery Time since the week 1 of last term. I was so impressed by the children's willingness to help each other solve problems and their creativity. I can't wait till next Friday's session

    Hi Room 10 and I hope you will have another great term at school.
    Fin and Tosca and Mum and Dad plus Nana and I have been on holiday at my house. Hi Fin.
    I am so impressed that you can tell odd and even numbers all the way up to a million! Does that mean you can do it to a billion too? How about a Zillion?
