Following Instructions from a Reading Book.

During the week some children have been reading books about how to make things. They read the instructions, found out what materials they would need and how to make the object. At Discovery Time the children used what they had learnt from their book and followed the instructions to make the object. Some children made a hiding place for a lion and some children made rafts.

Here are our photos to show what we have done.

Numeracy Thinking

In Base Camp 1 & 2 we have been learning how to write equations and skip count in twos up to 20. We know when we write addition equations we need to use a 'plus' sign and an 'equals' sign.

Counting up to 20 in twos is getting easier each time we practice it. Now we can count  in twos in Maori too!!!

Have a look at the photos of us doing our numeracy learning.
