This week we have been busy getting familiar with our classroom and our new routines.

We have also began our Book Study:  The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch.  We thoroughly enjoyed the story and have already begun planning a variety of exciting topics to explore further. We are hoping to make our own miniature lighthouses from junk modelling so please bring any materials to school next week, especially 2L plastic bottles.

We have been learning about place value, exploring digits and their values, as well as practicing reading numbers aloud.  We played a fun game with a partner to see if we could give clues to help them match our numbers.

We have also made a whole school display poster for our school values.  Our class was learning about respect.  We worked together to discuss and sort out different ways we can show respect.

We are just beginning to learn how to use technology to share our work. As part of this new routine, the children are practicing using iPads to take photos of their learning.  Here are a few of this week’s pictures…
