Here are some photos of our first week back at school.
These photo shows Alex learning about even and odd numbers. Did you know that even numbers have a partner, and odd numbers don't have a partner? We used the counters to figure out which numbers have partners and which ones do not.
This photo shows Safiyye, Dotty and Lokkie using their imaginations during play based learning. They built a tent using a parachute and chairs.
On Friday, we started a new activity called problem solving. We will do it every Friday with our problem solving groups. Today we learnt that there a 4 key steps to problem solving.
1. Read the question and circle the important information
2. Discuss different ways to solve the problem e.g. using counters, drawing a picture
3. Have a go at solving the problem with your group
4. Share your thinking with other groups
Mrs O'Shea was so proud of our first attempt at problem solving. Here are some photos of us in action!
Remember - Our Zoo trip is next week on Wednesday 1 August. Children will need to bring a healthy lunch and snacks, a drink bottle filled with water only, a rain jacket and comfortable shoes for walking. We are looking forward to a very fun day!
