Learning & Teaching in 1/2O

A Snapshot of Learning in 1/2O

What a fantastic first term in 1/2O! We have enjoyed getting to know each other and engaging in a wide variety of activities. The students noted participating in fine motor activities every morning and our ‘NumberTaker Investigation’ as highlights of the term. 

 

The ‘NumberTaker’, the villain from the T.V. show ‘NumberJacks’, is renowned for stealing numbers. He visited our school and stole Mr. Welsford’s school phone number. The teachers were very distressed as they were unable to contact Mr. Welsford. The ‘NumberTaker’ left behind clues around the school for the clever 1/2 students to decipher. Using their place value knowledge and detective skills, the students pieced together the clues. They were successful in working out the stolen phone number and were able to call Mr. Welsford. We look forward to further investigations!
