CHATTERBOX!

Check out this cute photo of us completing an oral language activity called Chatterbox!  We had to use the phones and ring each other up.  We  have good manners and remembered to say who was calling.  We thought it was a blast!

MAX'S MYSTERY KETE SURPRISE!

Max had the Mystery Kete today.   He was very good at standing up in front of the whole class and telling the children his clues.  Inside the Kete were some delicious chocolate chip cookies!  We loved them!   This was the best Mystery Kete surprise ever! Thanks Max!

COUNT BY TWOS!

We can count by twos!  Mrs Lunn thinks we are superstars!  You should ask us to count for you at home.  You will be really impressed!

BARRIER GAMES!

We have been talking about Learning Partners.   We each have one and if you ask us,  we should be able to tell you who it is!  Today we practised learning to be a good communicator through the use of barrier games.  We had to sit back to back and tell our learning partner where to put the shapes.  We had to check at the end if we were right!

PIAKO TIME!

Hi!   Today was our first ever Piako Time!   We had lots of new equipment to explore and discover with.   Our focus was on communicating.   We had to ask to join in and to talk to our friends about what we were doing.   Our whole team joined in the fun. We were allowed to play in any of the Piako classrooms.   All the equipment was donated to our team by the wonderful Riverdale School PTA. Thank you very much!   We had a blast!

NO WAY JOSE!

In Maths we have been learning about Probability.   Today we read the story of Cinderella.  We had to think about the questions Mrs Lunn asked and classify the pictures as certain,  possible or impossible.

SUPERSTAR STATISTICIANS!
