Week 5 and 6 Term 3

In maths we have been learning to order numbers to 20 and beyond even if some of the numbers are missing.

You can have a go at our favourite interactive game for practicing this by clicking on the link below:

With Sam we have been continuing our work on measurement by using our toy bears to investigate and compare length and weight.

 We are continuing to learn 2 new tricky words each week, an important part of this learning is finding different ways of representing these words, play dough is always a favourite.

 As part of our learning about the medial vowel 'i' we used a You Tube clip to learn step by step how to draw a digger. The results were amazing as you can see below. Look out for them on display in the classroom later the week.

Week 5 and 6 Term 3 in Room 10 on PhotoPeach
 Something rather odd appeared in the playground this week. This creature is a bit shy and did not like the camera so the only evidence we have is this photo of it walking away from Room 10. What type of creature do you think this is?

Finally looking for a bargain way to do your Christmas shopping, why not consider copies of the Food Central cookbook which is now available at a much reduced price of $20 compared to the original $40. Copies can be purchased at the school office. Don't forget to say which class you belong to as the profits made will go straight back into the syndicate the class belongs to. In Kowhai we will be using any money raised to fund our Big Day Out at the end of Term 4 and to support the make-over of the Junior Playground.
