Angwin


Dear Angwin Families
 
Another busy week has unfolded in the Angwin with the highlight, of course, being our wonderful colour run. Thankyou to Mr  Charlwood for organising this fun celebration of colour!
 
We also enjoyed creating our own police station in the work shop. This play was a hive of activity as children dived through the dress up boxes choosing shirts and hats. We also had lots of pedestrians in dresses that needed to be managed across the road, lucky we had our signs out to help them. We will follow up on this interest in Police duties next week.
 
In fact Angwin children have been busy taking on all sorts of roles in the class this week, with dancers in the dancing corner watching themselves closely in the mirror as well as Mums and Dads caring for babies in our mosquito net home.
 
Interest in patterning has continued and the children have been creating patterns with stickers. We have mostly been interested in single-single patterns but some of us have managed to create double-double patterns, with a few even creating single-double-single-double patterns, very tricky!
 
But the maths hasn’t stopped there! After our interest in surveying last week we have continued to survey our friends on all sorts of issues. We even surveyed our buddies about what type of pizza toppings they like. We will create a graph together to see if we are going to make ham and pineapple or vegetarian pizzas next week in the Prep school “shed”. What pizza do you think will be the winner! To support our survey work we have been learning how to form teen numbers, did you know they always have a 1 at the start? Listen carefully, there is always a hint about what the second number will be!

Happy counting

Love the Angwin team
