This week in number work we have been learning how to share.  We played lots of fun sharing games on the promethean board and we used the little people, buttons and bears from our number areas to share.  We were all very good at sharing and impressed our teachers.

In the Active Learning Zone we have been using some cool aps on the iPad. There is a new Bee-Bot app which we have been using.  For a short period of time it  is now available for our parents to download to an apple device for free and may be beneficial if parents want to continue the fun learning we have been doing.  We have to plan the journey of the beebot around the garden. We have also been using the iPad help us learn more about sharing, and this app is also free.

We were having lots of fun with our model planets and were amazed to see that some were really much bigger than others. Alot of us thought that the Earth would be bigger than the sun but the sun is the biggest model.

In music P1a2 used lots of instruments to play rhythms along with different songs. We learnt two new songs and we were very musical, our teacher even said we sounded as good as a rock band! P1a1 can’t wait to have a go next week.

When P1a1 were at computing we got to use Pivot again but this time we had to learn how to change the man into a spaceman on the moon. It was a little tricky but we managed and were super! Next week P1a2 will have a go at making mini spaceman pivot movies.
