Triangle group- Maths session

Today in maths we were learning to count on from the biggest number. We have gotten really good at saying the number that comes after,  so today we practised counting on from the biggest number. This pictures shows that we know which number is the biggest. 

Today we even added two numbers together by counting on from the biggest

 number. Miss Nua thinks we are pretty clever!

Kelly Tarltons trip!

We were lucky enough to go on a trip to Kelly Tarltons last week. We got to see lots of animals that live under the sea. Here are some photos of what we saw.

Leon-Lebron loved seeing the Jellyfish, they looked like they were glowing!

The stingray came so close to the glass that Carla got a fright!

Abraham loved the starfish because of all the colours. 

Can you spot the young fluffy penguin?

Look at this huge shark! It was so big we could all fit inside its mouth!

We are good at ART!!!

We are really good at art in Room 2.

Today we had Mrs Manuyag come and teach us how to smudge when using pastels.

We did SUCH good work because we listened well and we didn't rush our work.

We like MUSIC

In Room 2 we absolutely love going to the music room to learn how to play the ukulele's and bucket drums.

Mrs Vercoe loves how well we listen there and how well we follow instructions (even when she doesn't use her voice!!).

Have a look at what we've been doing!

We are learning to throw and catch a small ball

We are about to start learning Baseball in our Kiwisport time, so for PE this week we started to practice our throwing and catching skills.

Our wonderful photographers were Sosaia and Dziah.
