Mindfulness, maths and library visits

Sunday 24 September 2017

It’s been another busy week in the Year 1 and 2 classes. We started the week with a performance from One Day Creative about dealing with emotions and mindfulness. This will be followed up with workshops in a few weeks.

All classes visited the library, choosing books to encourage and enhance reading in our classrooms.

We’ve been using a variety of equipment to represent numbers, focusing on how many 10s and 1s a number has. Ten frames, Base 10, Numicon, part-part-whole models and lolly sticks are all resources we use in school – ask your child to describe the objects. (The pictures might help.)

  

Well done to this week’s Golden Star.
