Sharing Collections

We are getting very good at sharing collections.  Sometime we can share even amounts and have nothing left over.  Other times we have some left overs!

                                                                         

Shapes in the Environment.

In Mathematics today we investigated shapes around our school.  We were able to spot some really interesting 2D and 3D shapes.

A Semi circle

Triangular rafters

A circular drain cover

A circular hula hoop

A Cross

A square platform on the playground

A rectangular mosaic

A small and a large cylinder

A rectangular door

We even found some shapes that the older grades had made.

We are excellent at investigating shapes.

Pentecost

We have been learning about the Pentecost story in Religion. We recreated a scene with a colouring sheet. 

Textures

Today we explored the different textures  we find in our world.

We read the story "Window" by Jeanie Baker then worked cooperatively in groups to create a collage of our own using materials with different textures.

Our Incursion to Selwyn Park

We went to Selwyn Park to explore the way our bodies moved on the playground equipment.
These were some of the movements we explored:
running; rolling; jumping; climbing; hanging; pushing; spinning; swinging and climbing.
