Friday (Term 2 | Week 6) | R/1JH and R/1MP

Welcome to a very chilly morning and a very sunny winter’s day. The long weekend is ahead so let’s enjoy the day by learning and sharing and being kind to one another.

Numeracy

Today we investigated subtraction in numeracy. Some children said it can also be called take-away or minus. We started by looking at a Ten Frame and counting how many squares it has. It didn’t matter what way we looked at it, it always had 10 squares. We used the Ten Frame to help us understand subtraction. When we took a counter off the frame we could see how many counters were left. The children were encouraged to record.

World Environment Day

Today is World Environment Day and the students talked about how we can look after the environment and how we can make things better for the world that God created for us.

Arnav: Don’t let the tap run with water for too long.
