This week in numeracy we have been learning about how to find the area of shapes by counting in squares. Today we took some squares outside and made some shapes of our own that all had an area of 10 squares. The playground ended up being too windy for us so we moved to the dining room where Mrs Gallagher set us some challenges. The first challenge was to make a square using more than 10 of our small squares. Harvey and Cameron were the first pupils to complete this activity, you can see them in the picture below. Our next challenge was to make a letter of the alphabet. Cole and Kate did a great job of making a letter E as you can see below too.

This week we have also had some special visistors in our classroom. Mrs Jamieson brought in some tadpoles for us to see. We are looking after them for a few days to see how they change before they go back to the pond. We have been very keen to learn about tadpoles and have enjoyed reading about them and drawing pictures.

Today at Celebrating Success assembly we were proud of Megan, Lauryn, Katie, Lewis and Caitlin who all received certificates. We all did very well singing our songs too.

Next week will be library visits on Thursday so remember to bring books and cards along then.
