Balloon Fun

We had a lot of fun blowing up balloons for some games that will be at the Burnside Primary School Fun Day tomorrow! We are all very excited!!!

Butterfly Garden

The Red and Yellow Rooms loved getting out in the butterfly garden as part of our investigations topic this term. They worked hard as a team to pull out some very big weeds to make our garden ready for some new plants.

More Bottle Top Art

We try to add to our creation most days.  There are a lot of screws and bottle tops to be attached!

Subitizing

In Numeracy time we complete knowledge activities as well as developing our strategies for solving addition and subtraction problems.  We have been focusing this term on subitizing in our knowledge development.  This is where we learn patterns of dots and how to recognise how many dots there are quickly.  This helps us to be able to learn how to add groups together and to recognise patterns that numbers make.  Here we are working in pairs against another pair to play snap.  There is a lot of counting still happening with the larger number of dots but we are getting quicker and it is great to have a buddy to check our counting!

Making Lunch

This reading group read a story called 'Making Lunch'.  They had to grate carrots and cheese.  The carrots were a bit tricky and they had to make sure that they didn't hurt their fingers.

Next they had to put some carrot and cheese into a wrap and wrap it up tightly.  We then cut the wraps up into bit sized pieces so that everyone could try them.

Everyone thought they were YUMMY!

Discovery Time

Look at all the different things we have to choose from at Discovery Time.  We are enjoying thinking of our own creative ideas to make.
