Maths and End of Year activities

This week I thought I would just share with you how I structure a maths session. The children are in groups and work at a different activity, usually for half of the lesson time and then they swap over to another activity.

One group spends time with the teacher. 

One group works on independent maths games.

One group works on a maths sheet.

One group uses the mathletics programme.

This is the last week that home readers will be given out. 

All readers and word cards will be collected on Thursday so that we can stocktake. Please continue to return any extra books that you might have at home. 

All library books also need to be back by Thursday. Thank you.

We have Huff N Puff on Thursday afternoon at 2pm. You are welcome to come and join us. We also have ROC day on Friday. Children will be outside on both of these days so please ensure they are wearing running shoes and are wearing summer uniform items only. 

ESOL activities

Some children in Room 5 attend the ESOL (English Speakers of Other Languages) classes on a regular basis. They also have been working on this term's theme of Working Together and Team Work during their lessons. Emma and Maxwell created a bird's nest using material found in the school's bush and fields.

We have been using the iPad's to learn how to take photos of our work, draw and record our voices on an app.

We drew a picture about our big book of the week called "The swamp eggs".

We took a picture of our best pattern and then wrote down the letter pattern as well.

Mr Nelson Funari-Roche had been teaching in Room Five this week. He will be with us for two more weeks.

Words for the week:Quick, quill, quilt, thing, thumb, bath, ship, shine, sheep, change, chocolate, check.

Sounds for the week: qu, th, sh, ch

Please check all your cupboards and rooms for extra home readers and word cards that can be returned. Thank you.

Sun Shelters

This week we turned our pom-poms into people called Pomperlets. 

 Then we made sun shelters for them so they wouldn't get burnt. We worked co-operatively to help each other to build them.  Great job Room 5!
