In our problem solving math sessions we have been creating beaches inspired by the book 'One Is a Snail Ten is a Crab.' We have been using a range of strategies to figure out how many feet are on each other's beaches and to prove the number of feet on our own beach: See you can find all the feet on the beaches below: Key: 1 = snail 2 = person 4 = dog 5 = starfish 6 = insect 8 = spider 10 = crab

This week we have been lucky enough to have Jono from Selwyn Sport come and teach us some striking and fielding skills. Jono taught us the importance of stepping forward and following through with our dominant arm in order to create a powerful and accurate throw. We practised these skills during a range of cooperate games and will continue to build on these skills across the coming weeks. Today we have had the sports carnival. Thank you to all the parents and family members who came to support and watch us.  We challenged ourselves and worked cooperatively in a range of activities and of course, had a lot of fun in the process!
