Bucket Children!! WELL DONE

These awesome learners were the first who filled the other children's buckets with happy, kind thoughts and behaviour!!!
Are you a bucket filler?

Probability

We have been learning lots of new language in Probability.  We have learnt about chance, possible, impossible, likely and less likely.

Oscar F - What is the chance that I choose the red one?

Nubaid - It is less likely because there is only one.

Britta - What is the chance of me picking a black dinosaur?

Julia - It would be impossible because there are no black dinosaurs.

Aaron - What is the chance of choosing a green dinosaur?

Brodie - It is likely because there are more greens than yellows.

Alexi - What is the chance of me choosing a yellow one?

Ruby - It is impossible because there are no yellow ones.

A special guest for the dance break through group!

On Friday the dance break through group had a ballet teacher come to visit to watch what they have been doing over the last few weeks!

The children were very excited to show off their skills and certainly learn some new ones. They enjoyed dressing up too!

Thank you so much to Karen who came in to help us. We learnt a lot and now we are going to keep practicing our routine to get even better :-)

The concept of change

During concept learning we experimented with changing our voices and actions to suit the characters in the "three billy goats gruff."

Was it easy to change your voice to be in character?... at AnswerGarden.ch.

We gave each other feedback so that we have next steps to improve our performances. We had a fantastic day!

Story Telling Using Doodlecast

Today some of us were introduced to a screen recording app called Doodlecast - here's Mina (with the help of Alexi, Carys and Eugene) recording a story she made up.

Strand Maths in Hub 1

"I did repeating patterns and there were one green, two orange, three of another colour…" - Kush

"We made our pattern with coins and money and it was really big. We went gold, silver and brown" - Bella and Eugene

"My colours were red and yellow" - Alexi

"I was doing patterns with the magnets and it was hard. I was determined and I made the pattern" - Henry

"I made colors with purple, pink and other colours and then I went purple and yellow and I could connect them together. I almost made it long!" - Ashlee

"I made a really tall pattern. I had to be determined because it was so tall it kept on falling down. The colours were red, green, green, yellow, blue, blue, and it kept on repeating." - Bella

Phonics and Handwriting Brain exercises!

 After phonics we get both sides of our brain to talk to each other. We pat our head and rub our tummies.

We march on the spot or around the hub.

 We learn how to touch the opposite knee with our opposite hand.

 

It is hard and we have to be determined. 

 Look at us we have got it... Can you practice at home?
