Skip Counting

Here is a great game for you to try. Everyone in our maths class needs to learn to skip count in 2's this term.

And try listening to this song.

Some videos for you

We have been playing with a video camera at school. Here is a video of us at KiwiCan. Every time we go to KiwiCan we start the lesson like this. It is lots of fun. Sorry about the jumpy video, its hard to hold the camera and give high fives at the same time!

The second movie is of us playing our favourite game. (shhhh, don't tell the kids they are learning!) We are getting good at recognising the patterns on the dice and some of us can even count on from the biggest number.

Ipods

For all of you lucky people out there with Ipods here is a great link to download free apps for kids our age. I hope lots of you are able to use it.

Holidays

The holidays are here and I promised you something to keep you busy. Here is the link we use in our classroom for reading stations. You can listen to lots of great stories being read out loud.

Listening to reading

And here is a link to some more maths games. Let me know which one is your favourite.

Our movie

We made a movie by talking to Miss Nielsen's computer. It was funny watching ourselves on the screen.
