Clustr Map Count
Wow - we have now had 116 visitors to our blog! It's great to see some comments too. Who else could you share our blog with? Remember to tell them to click on the clustr map so their visit is counted. Have you played any of our reading or maths games?
Korean language
Tae Yeong has been in our class for nearly 2 weeks. She has been teaching us about Korea. In the mornings we sign our names in Korean.
It's maths week
This week is maths week. We have been solving some mathematics problems at the beginning of each day. All the children have been estimating numbers - how many legs would 2 cows and a duck have altogether? Can you think of some other problems to solve together? We are learning to skip count in 2's, 5's and 10's. Children are enjoying working in their numeracy groups - especially when they are the leader.
