WALT identify NZ notes and coins

WALT identify NZ notes and coins.

We had Captain Cash from ASB come to visit Room 4.
We learnt lots about saving money, spending money and
sharing money.

Miss Donnell decided to test us and see if we remembered how to sort out the coins and notes from biggest to smallest.

Look at my sorting success!

WALT tell time to the hour and half hour using analogue clocks.

WALT tell time to the hour and half hour using
analogue clocks.

Room 4 have been learning about measurement
this term and our focus has been on time. We
have been learning about lots of forms of time,
from days of the week to ages of people. We
have made our own clocks that can tell different
times of the day that are important to us.

WALT identify 2D and 3D shapes

WALT identify 2D and 3D shapes.

This term Room 4 have been learning about
shapes. We have been learning about how to
sort shapes and what different shapes look like.

Miss Donnell took us outside to test our knowledge
on what shapes we know. She gave us some
chalk to try and draw the shapes we knew. Then
she said shapes out loud like rectangle, triangle,
a shape with 3 sides and we had to try and draw
them!

WALT identify numbers to 5

WALT identify numbers to 5

The Dolphins group have been working on identifying numbers to 5. Once we connected the number itself and the number word, we started looking at what that number looked like. Miss Donnell showed us a game called 'Roll and Cover' which helped us to match the dice patterns to the numbers.

'I like finding the little numbers because I count them quick.'

Shape Pictures

We are learning to recognise 2d shapes in every day life.

Room 0 have been busy exploring shapes in a range of different ways.  One activity we did was to choose a range of 2d shapes and put them together to create a picture.  By doing this nga tamariki are able to see how shapes can be seen all around us every day.

"I made a rocket ship using triangles and circles and a rectangle", said Paige.

I am learning to add numbers together up to 5

In Maths we having been learning to add 2 digits together when the total is no more than 5.  We learnt that when we add 0 to a number we are adding nothing so the number stays the same.  We also learnt that when we add 1 to a number it is the same as saying the number that comes after.

"It was easy adding the numbers because I know how to do them."
