Here's one of the blue reading groups sharing their questioning - Miss Holland started them off but then they shared their ideas independently.  How do you think they went?

Reading: Re-telling in our own words

"We have been learning how to do some recordings on Miss Holland's phone.  We were re-telling.  It was hard because we wanted to read the stories sometimes but we had to re-tell and I was being determined and my partner too." - Ayamai

What do you think of our re-telling?

The 300 party

We had a big celebration today!  Some of our learners typed the story directly into Clicker Docs themselves, aren't they clever?!

Today we had a party because we had 300 children at stonefields school. All the children had balloons at the party. We did drawing with chalk on the ground at lunchtime. It was awesome at the party! What did you think about the party?

Finding 5 and the missing numbers!

We are making sums with 5!

 We are finding and discussing how we found 5.

 What would be the answer if I add 2 to 5?

What would happen if I add 4 to 5?

As a hub we were trying to find the missing numbers!
Are we counting forwards or backwards?

Introducing Shapes in Maths

We have been doing shapes.  I have been tracing shapes like squares, triangles and circles.  They are flat shapes.  I feel good about doing shapes.  

By Emily S.

We were collaborating.  We are making some shapes and working together.  We made the sides and we stuck the sticks together.  We never gave up.  We think it is a flat shape.  What do you think?  They are squares and we saw how the triangles compared when we did it.  We can make more shapes and make them bigger and bigger.

By Hunter, Leon and Anshul

Today Lily H. and Aurelia traced some shapes.  Between them they traced circles, rectangles, triangles, diamonds, squares and semi circles.  Lily also traced a pentagon and is going to learn the name of it.  Aurelia knows lots of shape names, do you?
