OHHHHH CUTE!

Look who came to visit!

Katie's mum Pip, brought in their new baby guinea pigs. They are only few days old and they are so cute!   We each got to have a little cuddle.   They made a little squeaking sound but seemed quite relaxed hanging out with us in LC 2 today.

MEASURING WITH HANDSPANS!

Today we measured different objects in the classroom using HANDSPANS.   We found out that the whiteboard table was about 30 handspans long! A handspan is from the tip of your thumb to the tip of your pinky when your hand is stretched out wide.   We love Maths!

WHO HAS GOT THE LONGEST FEET?

This week we are learning all about Length.   Today we drew around our shoe and measured the length of our footprint using blocks.   We found out Mrs Lunn had the biggest feet.   Her footprint was 13 blocks long.   Alexis,  Matty and Sam had the biggest feet of us kids and Leah had the smallest feet.  

We loved measuring our feet today so much so,  that we might ask our family if we can measure their feet!

DIVISION SUPER STARS!

Today the Triangles maths group were learning about division.  They had to share the beans out to the chickens equally and record what they had done mathematically.   Mrs Lunn was very impressed with how quickly they picked this concept up.

MUSIC ROTATION SECOND WEEK!

We love Wednesdays because we have our Piako music rotations! 

Here are a few photos of the kids in LC 2 learning about rythym.  They had to compose their own rythym and perform it using instruments.   We even learnt how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with the instruments.  We thought we were so clever!
