Look at these happy faces!  Lilly and Oscar were exploring how to use Numicon materials to make numbers from 20. They wanted to make 100 and found lots of ways to make 10 to do this. Then Lilly and Oscar asked 'Can we see what number we get to if we use all of the Numicon?', so away they went!

This is what they made, 397!

Under- Over - Look at Our Creations!

This week TK1 chose 'Rabbit and Rooster's Ride' for their Big Book to read and enjoy! 

From reading this story, we came up with a problem that needed solving using the maths words of 'under' and 'over'.....................

How on earth will Kangaroo cross the water without getting her feet wet????

Will Rabbit and Rooster get wet too???

Will the shark be able to get back out to the ocean to her family???

Look at our AWESOME designs to solve the problems :)

Making connections through time :)

 Thank you for sharing your museum photo Harvey. Thought it was really cool how you recognised the Pātaka at the Christchurch Museum because you had helped to make our classroom one - ka pai Harvey!

Great connections :)

Celebrate Good times, come on....

In a world of changes it is so great to see our tamariki getting on with everything -  a massive ka pai as always from your grown-ups!

We really do love to celebrate success, achievement and everything in between!  We have blogged previously about our HERO cards being awarded and receiving rewards for our deeds on an individual and House Group level, so we wanted to share some examples from the start of term as we are so proud of everyone's great attitude and HERO approach to school :)
