Today we were learning in a different way. We were learning about our subtraction in the playground because it was a beautiful day.
We were working in groups today. We had to work together to do lots of sums in the playground. We had a list of subtraction sums, cones or bean bags, giant chalk and a hula hoop.
The first number in the sum tells you the number that you are starting with. The next person had to take away the next number in the sum. The third person had to write the sum and their group had to help them to find the answer by counting what was left. The last person had to remember to tidy up so that we were ready for the next sum.
Orlagh – It was fantastic.
Emily – It was wonderful.
Alfie – We had to make sure we were all working on the right one.
Abigail – It was nice.
Andrew – It was amazing drawing them.
Callan – It was epic running about to get the cones.
Zara – We had to collect the bean bags and I liked doing that.
I liked doing the take-away sums. They were lots and lots of fun. I loved my group.
