Maths - Time

We have been learning to:

• sequence events within a day

• order the days of the week
• order the months in a year
• describe a duration as long or short ­
• ­name and ­directly compare the duration of two events
• ­­tell the time to the hour and half hour using analogue clocks

Before we talked about clock features, we all drew clocks using our prior knowledge.

Briley, your next learning step is to correctly position the numbers 1 to 12 on a clock face.

Play Based Learning

Briley, it's great to see you being creative with construction and drawing during Discovery Time.

Science

Briley, you participated well in all the learning about the sun and how it affects everything, including animals and also causes night and day. It will be exciting to see the lanterns with the little lights in them at the Matariki lantern parade!

Art

Briley, you did a great job at selecting recycled materials and independently constructing your alien/robot named Rainbow-Sparkles.

Maths - strategy

I am able to solve addition problems by holding the biggest number in my head and then counting on, using my fingers to keep track.

My next learning step is to consistently solve subtraction problems by holding the biggest number in my head and then counting back, using my fingers to keep track.

Writing - Term 2

Briley is learning to underline words she is unsure of and add detail to her writing.

Ball skills

Lesson 1

Lesson 2

We reflected on what made our passing and catching better this time. The children said...

• I watched the ball carefully
• We stood closer together
• I held my hands ready to catch
• I aimed for my partners hands 
• I didn't pass so quickly - I looked at my partners hands and threw to them
