Our Assembly!

Last Friday it was our turn to perform an assembly with our buddy class. 

Our focus was on individuality and our unique personalities. Here are a few videos of our assembly I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed performing.

Swimming!!

SWIMMING!!! For the next few weeks we will be having swimming classes every day. Here are a few snaps from our first lesson. 

Fun with Fractions!

Today we put all our learning to the test through play dough.

Each student was given a piece of play dough which was there whole. 

They then had to share in halves, quarters and thirds. 

One Half!

In maths this week we have been learning about fractions. We have started with halves. 

The students had to identify which shapes were cut correctly in half. 

We found that to have half it needs to be equal groups.

We then found half of whole shapes and how we can show half in different ways on a shape. 

We were doing so well at identifying half in shapes that we moved onto finding half of groups.

Liquids!

This week we have been learning all about liquids. 

We started our liquid investigation through discovery play. Students were given a bucket of water and were to explore the water and answer specific questions such as how does it feel and can we pour it. This was a great hands on experience which the children loved. 

This led to us being able to describe a liquid through a poem. 

Then in our minds we went on a trip to the supermarket. We were only allowed liquids on our shopping list. Here is a list of some of the liquids we bought.
