We are learning to count forwards and backwards to 10, 20 and even 100. We are also learning to say the number before and after each number in this range.
This was the 'work' area- these boys set up their chairs, their computers (keyboards and boxes for the screen), and set to work. The tens frames were their money which they looked at carefully to count how much money each note was worth. Here, the mum is reading to her baby inside the hut. Preparations are being made, as apparently there's a thunderstorm coming! The windows must be washed. The tent must be fixed so it is watertight. And the food must be stockpiled and stored.
We had a look at our frog and decided that he is looking a bit sad. We did a brainstorm and decided that he might be sad because he was lonely, he was scared, he didn't like his cage, he was hungry, or he wanted to go back home. Then we thought about where frogs live and what they needed to survive. Here are some of our ideas: We then wrote about ways we could cheer him up, and next we will decide what we are going to do for him- looking at perhaps releasing him back into the wild.
Here we are playing 2 different ipad games- Tocatown has moveable people that live in a town that you can explore. The Osmo monster game requires you to draw objects on a whiteboard which then appear magically on the screen! We will be looking at the Osmo coding game next week which goes over the basics of coding. Here are some other free websites/apps which teach coding: Daisy the dinosaur (app): http://www.daisythedinosaur.com/ Hour of code (website): https://hourofcode.com/nz/learn Scratch (website): https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/editor/?tip_bar=getStarted
That is awsome
