Maths

In Maths, we have continued to practise counting and learning the correct formation of numbers 1-10. We have discussed strategies to help improve the accuracy of our counting. Students are encouraged to 'touch and count', 'move and count' and 'line up and count'. These strategies sound very simple when many of us use these techniques subconsciously as adults but they are skills which need to be modelled when first introduced.

Buddies

We had a wonderful time meeting up with our buddies to complete a craft activity. We had fun making 'Buddy Birds' and then had some time to enjoy both the home corner and the construction corner. You can see from the photos that our Grade 6 buddies enjoyed stepping back in time and playing like a Prep again - I think Mr Smith did too!

Have a wonderful long weekend everyone!
