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!!!

Mathematics Activities

These were our Can Do activities for Mathematics.  We enjoy working on our strand maths activities each day with our buddies.  These help us to remember important skills that we have learnt, including our shapes, patterns, length language, and to work on developing our fine motor skills.

Discovery Stars

Logan and Tom both showed the Disposition of Respect during Discovery Time.  Congratulations boys for showing this independently!

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!

Maths learning

We have been using abacus to help us with our numeracy learning.  These help us to learn the patterns that the numbers make.  We also make these on our fingers and on tens frames.  We can use the different ways to check our accuracy.

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.
