Brain Houses

We have been learning about 'Brain Houses', and the characters that live in them.
We know that Calming Carla helps us to take tummy breaths to calm down and that Alerting Anna can warn us there is danger. We like the way Creative Chris helps us to come up with new games and ideas. But, we have to be careful Big Boss Bootsy doesn't make us flip our lid over little things.

Blue and yellow make green...

Room 7 are learning to mix colours.  We made two different shades of green by adding, first, a little bit of blue paint to yellow paint.  Next, we made a darker shade of green by adding a little bit more blue paint to the light green. We used these colours and collage to create our art works.

Reading with Stella, Paige and Storm

Groups to 10

We have been making and breaking 10 and used tens frames to explore some of the ways we could show what 10-5 looks like.

Candles on the cakes

We have been solving the maths problem 'Birthday cakes'.

Anna’s mum used 12 candles on 3 birthday
cakes.  How many candles could there be on
the cakes?

These are some of the ways we solved the problem...

Daily 5

Room 7 and the Year 4's from Room 8 are learning to use the reading programme called Daily 5. It helps us to become independent readers who can manage our reading time. You can see us practising to 'read to someone'. We are sitting EEKK which means, elbow to elbow, knee to knee, book in the middle so we both can see!

It's nice to be back!
