Term 4 - Week 4

Hi all, sorry for the lack of posts so far this term.  I can't believe we are nearly half way through the final term of the year already! In maths this week we have been working on the concept of addition, the children have been exploring this through different games and activities. Here is Malachi using the play dough to help him write an addition number sentence. He has put 4 fries on each plate and has 8 fries altogether. 

We have been playing a number game using dice as well. In this game you roll two dice to make your number sentence and then add the dots to work at the answer. Siuila and Isabelle are doing a great job. 

In PE we have been learning all about gymnastics. We now know how to forward roll safely and have got awesome jumping skills. For the first time this week we has a go on the beam and bars. We tried walking along the beam, firstly on flat feet, on then on tip toes. It was tricky to balance. 

On the bars we were trying to do big swings. Dallas is a gymnastics expert so she was able to help us. 

We also had our final tennis session with Suzanne on Monday, and as promised she brought the nets. It was great fun but very tricky trying to hit the ball over the net. The children should have brought home a letter about tennis lessons if they are interested in trying it again. We finished the session with a game of tennis ball tag.
