When Room 18 met Harold the giraffe...

Recently we had a visit from Harold the Giraffe and the Life Education van. It was the first time for many of us, and it was such good fun getting to go inside the van. We had two sessions with Harold, and we learned lots of things about keeping ourselves happy and healthy. Here are some photos from our first lesson.

Making Bread

In class we have been reading the story of "The Little Red Hen." We decided to make some bread, just like the Little Red Hen did! Here is a little clip of what we did.

Old MacDonald's Farm

Yesterday we had a visit from Old MacDonald's Farm. We got to see many different animals, including chickens, ducks, sheep, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, cows, a pony and even a kune kune pig! We got to pat the animals and even feed them too!

Stepping Out with Constable Paul

This term we have taken part in the "Stepping Out" programme with Constable Paul. We have been learning how we can keep ourselves safe when crossing roads. We learned a poem to help us remember what to do...

Stop, look and listen
Before you cross the street
Use your eyes, use your ears,
Before you use your feet!

Maths

We have been learning lots of different things in Maths and would like to share some of what we do with you. Each maths group in the class is going to share something different. We made these photo stories over two lessons.

Counting to 20

We are great at counting in 1s. Why don't you say the numbers with us as we count from 1 to 20?

Counting backwards from 20

Counting backwards is always a bit trickier! Have a go at counting from 20 back to 1 with us!

Skip counting forwards in 5s to 100

We have recently been learning how to skip count in 5s. Let's try counting forwards in 5s to 100. Perhaps you can join in with us?

Skip counting backwards from 100 in 5s

Now let's count backwards from 100 in 5s! This is a little bit trickier!

Pairs of Numbers that make 10

We have been learning pairs of numbers that go together to make 10. This is very useful to know!

Pairs of Numbers that make 100

Here we look at the tens numbers that go together to make 100! We noticed that they are very similar to the numbers that go together to make 10. They just have 0 on the ends!

The Farm

Now it is Term 2 and we have started a new topic! We are going to be finding out about some of the changes that might happen on a farm. To help us get started we made a define map about the farm. Miss Brookshaw gave us all some pictures and we had to decide whether they were relevant to a farm or not relevant, and say why! We stuck the pictures that we thought had something to do with a farm in the middle of the map and the other pictures around the outside of the map. We might well change our minds though as we go through the term, so some of these pictures may change places! Click on the picture to see it more clearly!
