Maths Ideas

Last week we welcomed more new friends into Room 11. Here we are sharing reading books with our friends during our daily browse box time immediately after morning tea.

In maths we have been practicing our number recognition by playing 'snap' using a regular pack of cards with the picture cards removed. Playing card games and board games, such as snakes and ladders or ludo, is a great way for all the family to get involved in developing your child's maths skills.

The sounds for this week are 'h' and 'r' and the tricky words are 'we' and 'she'. Swimming should return to normal and our buddy class have invited us to share an extra swimming session with them on Friday!
During the week we will be developing a 'Class Charter' by decidng on our rights in the classrooom and our responsibilities in respecting these rights. On Wednesday we are having a visit from some Peer Mediators from Room 1 who will show us how they can help deal with tricky situations in the playground.
This week is 'Walk to School Week". Please remember to help your child fill in their record card see if they can walk to school everyday. Starting from this Wednesday we will be collecting data on how many children walk to school each Wednesday until the end of term. You can record this information on our class chart at the front of the room. So come on Room 11...put your best foot forward, get some exercise and be kind to the environment.
