Kia Ora and welcome to our Room 10 Week 2 blog.
Last week we went to visit Judy in the office and she asked
us to help her work out which school hat colour was most popular so she could
order more of that colour. Back in class we set about the challenge of finding
how many hats of each colour we had in Room 10.
First we made a pile of each colour of hat…… but it was a
bit tricky to count how many hats were in the bigger piles.
Next we decided to use one square on our carpet for each hat
…but then the colours were all mixed up again.
Finally we thought about using the carpet squares again….but
this time putting each colour in the same line of squares.
We found out that red was the most popular…. but how could
we show Judy what we found. We thought of many ingenious ways to carry our
class mat down to the office without the hats tipping off but in the end Tracy
helped us to make a pictogram to show Judy what we discovered.
This week we have been working in our reading rotation groups and exploring the range of activities to help us develop our motor
skills and literacy skills as well as the key Competency of Relating to Others
We have continued to enjoy reading with a buddy out in the sunshine.
We finger painted our names and then worked out how many letters were in our name. Check out the graph in class that shows our results. You can see each of our names by clicking on our names on the Kidzstuff blog. You will find a link to this at the top right of this blog.
We shared our ideas about who helps us to learn by drawing a learning map.
In Discovery Time on Friday we thought about how to manage ourselves when things don't always go our own way and then put these skills into action whilst having heaps of creative and imaginative fun learning including.....
...dressing up
......creations from recycled boxes
...art projects with our trainee Teacher Aide
..imaginative journeys
......tall, tall towers
