Sleep and exercise

Today we have been looking at why we need sleep.

Was started off with a bus stop activity. We had to write down our answers to the questions that were on the table.

Then we did some learning about important things to do before bed to help us sleep. We also learnt the reasons why we need to sleep.

Maths time

This week Team Pukeko has been learning to order numbers, identify tens and ones and make numbers. 

Check out our groups today!

The triangles are using the hundreds board to help them order numbers to 20.

The squares are hard at work on Mathletics.

The circles are completing an activity about drawing what a hundred number looks like.

The cold mountains

I heard ...the wind whistling in the mountains .

I saw ... Wolves howling and the polarbear walking.

 I felt ... The tent swaying  in the wind.

I wondered... I wondered  how I'd get down the mountain.

Maths

For Maths today we were learning how to skip-count in tens from different numbers and learn out bonds to 10.

Here are the circles working out problems like 40 + 30 since they know what 4 + 3 is.....

Here are the squares working out what is one, ten and one hundred more than a number.

Our awesome triangle group were lucky enough to get to be on mathletics today!!

He came to teach us all about road safety, we talked about how to cross the road safely, walk on the footpath and get past sneaky driveways!

It was a lot of fun.

Check out this kid!

Well done Tom!

Last week Tom got silver in mathletics . this meant he got the second highest amount of points for the week. It is really showing through in his maths at the moment.

Awesome job!
