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.

Butterflies

We are very excited that our butterflies are hatching. We have two more to hatch. How many days do you think it will take?

School Picnic

On Friday we had the school picnic. We went to Anderson's Park. The whole school was there and lots of our families were there too.

 There were lots of fun things to play on in the playground.

 Bertie Budgie came to the picnic. He gave us all iceblocks. They tasted great. Bertie gave us hugs and high fives.

Lots of us got to go for a walk in the bush. We saw some huge trees that are taller than our school.

I can write

On Friday we read the story 'I can write'. We tried writing in the sand and on the netball court. We can write in lots of places. Look at all the words we wrote. Check out our writing wall this week for more pictures.
