Well done to a proud girl for winning a trophy for her excellent Taekwondo skills!

We played lots of games today to help us learn our French colours.

Today we were reading with our partners looking and listening for reading accuracy.  We had to tell our partner if they read the words on the page and not added any, or missed any out.

We were learning more about road safety today. We had to THINK about the traffic coming, STOP at the edge of the road , LOOK and LISTEN for any traffic and when it was safe walk across the road, remembering to keep looking and listening the whole way across.

We used lots of skills in the Learning Zone today.  We planned routes for the bee-bots, solved problems on the I-pad, created road safety messages and counted and measured lengths using hands and feet.

The children should see that, for example, 17 = 10 + 7. Allow them to record their answers in different ways (see above examples). When confident move on to numbers between 20 and 30. Continue to larger numbers if able.
