Celebrating Cultural Day!

This week we celebrated Cultural Day in Room 1! The children were very excited to share a little bit about their culture. We also looked at pictures and listened to traditional rhythms  from each place. We are so lucky to have a multicultural classroom!

Making Pizza! Yum!

This week the children in Room 1 and 2 worked together to make pizza! Yum!

The children have been learning about fractions and making pizzas and cutting them into equal slices was a great way to practice what they are learning about.

We made four pizzas and we needed a total of 32 slices. In order to work out how many slices the pizzas had to be cut into the children got into four groups - one for each pizza. When each group had the equal number of 8 children they knew that each pizza had to be cut into 8 slices.

                                                 

Making pizza was a great learning experience. The children really enjoyed making it, and of course eating it too !:)

Fun at the cross-country race

The children in Room 1 did a fantastic job last Friday running at our cross-country race!

The children practiced during the whole week and they were learning the difference between jogging and sprinting. They tried very hard to jog so that they could save some energy to sprint at the end and perhaps win the race. Ka pai!
