Maths - Term 2

Jamie is learning to solve subtraction problems by keeping the largest number in his head and counting back.

He is able to do this with 2 digit numbers using a number line, hundreds board and his fingers.

Jamie's next step will be to do this without materials.

P.E - Large Ball Skills

WALT:  Develop handling and control skills of a large ball using our hands with a partner and in small groups.

Perform rolling an object with control over distances.

Roll different objects with accuracy.

Technology

WALT: Follow the technological design process to create a boat.

We used what we had learned in science about floating and sinking to ensure that it didn't sink. We looked carefully at the materials we used, as we wanted the materials to be light and waterproof so that they wouldn’t soak up water.

We also learned through testing, that it was important that our boat was balanced so that it stayed upright and didn’t flip over.

Reading

Jamie is learning to use reading strategies quickly to support fluency and comprehension.

Te Reo Māori

WALT: Understand and say our mihi / pepeha including our name, the names of our parents and our school in Te Reo Māori.
