Maths, Maths, Maths!

Room 1 love maths! Especially when we get to have independent learning time-choose an independent task that relates to our personal next steps in maths. As our strand learning, we have been using measurement and all the vocabulary that goes with it-big, small, thin, wide, tall, short! We have been comparing lots of different sizes. This will help us solve lots of different mathematical problems everyday. The best thing about our maths learning is that we have been working interdependently-with each other! We learn so much more effectively that way.  

October, the Month of Mary!

Room 1 have been learning all about our blessed Mother Mary. October is the month of the Rosary so every morning at prayers, we have been praying a decade of the Rosary. Our prayer leaders are in charge of this, and we get to hear the special mystery story that goes with each decade (10 Hail Mary's). We have been learning so much about Mary and how Tapu she really is! In your homes you may like to pray the Rosary too using Room 1's Prayer Bag.
