Tens Frames Maths Mission

 Connor and Reagan were sent off on a mission today - to fill and photograph tens frames.

 They know you have to fill one  row before you start another.

 They know that the dots have to be in rows, with no crazy ones all on their own.

 They know that when you take a photo of your work, you have to make sure all your learning can be seen.

 When you are on a maths mission you have to be sneaky and quiet - like a spy!

 I think they did very well on their mission!

Writing our names...again.

We just keep getting better and better! We have been talking about tall letters this week. All our names start with a tall letter. Alec and Tahlia have tall letters in the middle of their names as well. Connor, Harry and Reagan all have a row of short letters - if a little mouse ran along the top of their names, it would not have anything to climb over. (Connor has drawn the little mouse tracks on top of his name, just to check!) You can see from our name writing today that we are all working really hard to make tall and short letters look different in height. Great work, Little Einsteins!

Skyping Our Reading Team!

Wow - today we skyped our reading team. Did you know, the more we read, the better we get! So we have a Reading Team waiting on Skype to listen to us practise our reading. We met them for the first time today. It was very exciting, we all read them a story and they told us we were very good readers. They said "well done" when we looked at the picture and did careful pointing. We also learned that we have to use BIG voices and make sure our reading team can see our pictures. That way they can help us if we get stuck.

WALT Write 1-20

Today we used Magnetic ABC to write and count 1-20.
Great counting Tahlia, Alec and Harry!
Alec said we had to pinch the numbers to make them smaller.
All the teen numbers have a 1 (one) in them.
The ones always go first.

This is my story....

Hi Mums and Dads!
We are learning about how we are the same and how we are different. Can you help us? We talked about who we might ask to tell us about ourselves. We think it would be good to ask our mums or dads or grandparents.

Our first question is:
Where was I born?

We think we were born:
In a hospital
In Australia
In this country
In New Zealand
Where my grandma was born.

Can you write a little note with me about where I was born? You can put it in my book bag or comment on our blog. There is a learning book at school, too. You could write it in there. Thank you!

The NED Show and Number Writing: 1-2-3

We have been learning to write our numbers 1-10. Today we worked hard on 1, 2 and 3. Everyone is getting better and better. We never give up, encourage each other and do our best, just like we heard in the NED show yesterday. (Ned's name: N=Never give up E=Encourage others D=Do your best. ) Here we are with our numbers and some photos of the NED show, too.
