Day 7

In mathematics the students began by exercising their mental maths strategies. They first completed their ‘Follow me Cards’ activity and beat their time of 3mins 01sec to 2mins and 34secs!

After that they were given a single digit number and had to find their ‘Number bond to 10’ partner (eg. 2 and 8, 6 and 4 ect.)

They then had to find their double partner (eg. 8 and 8, 2 and 2).

We then began to explore how we could use these strategies to solve the addition of 3 numbers.

After mathematics we had handwriting practice. Students were given the Aesops Fable ‘ The Boy Who Cried Wolf’, which we read together and discussed the moral. The students then wrote out the fable in their neatest cursive handwriting.

We then had first lunch and recess followed by music with Mr. Oliver.

After music we had UOI. In UOI we began to explore our first holiday, Kwanzaa. We read the story ‘Kwanza Kids’ and the students recalled the story as a group.

We also continued with our handwriting and began to explore how to draw and label a diagram.

We then had second lunch and recess, followed by French and agendas.
