This
week we have continued to work on our balance in PE with a wonderful obstacle
course.
Our
investigation into those tricky teens in Numeracy has progressed. The teens are
the most difficult numbers to master with language not matching the symbol. Twelve would be much easier if it was ten and two. Thankfully these issues
disappear when we get into the twenties.
To assist in this, for Show and Tell
in Week 9 we will look at the number 12. If possible can the children
bring in twelve of something. We have looked at counting into an egg box. If
you have any empty dozen egg boxes that would help, so please bring in something small - it is
more about the counting than the object.
The Pizza restaurant
has continued to be a success and led us into some problem solving. A plastic
mushroom got stuck in a jar and it was suggested that a lever was needed. The
children were unsure what that was. So we had fun demonstrating simple levers.
This turned into a story which was beautifully created by the Chapple Room
called the 'Grumpy Old King'. The villager's problem was solved by a wise man
using a catapult!
Parent/teacher interviews will take place Tuesday and Wednesday 9th and 10th
April 4-5.45pm. Ms Wegener will contact her focus children (Friday Show and
Tell children) for her interview times.
