We take part in Number Talks every day. We have been learning to count forwards and backwards in decades using a 100 square. We know that the most efficient strategy is to count in tens.
Article 13: We have the right to find out things and share what we think with others.
Article 29: We have the right to develop our talents and abilities.
This was our Learning Intention for Number Talks. We always link our learning to the UNCRC.
“30 less than 102 is 72. I counted back in tens.”
“40 less than 101 is 61. I counted back four which is the same as counting back four tens.”
“60 less than 88 is 28. I wouldn’t count back in ones because that would take ages. I counted back in tens. I counted back six tens.”
During our last week of Term 1, we engaged in Art which provided us with the opportunity to unleash our creativity. We each received a piece of paper with a black round sticker places somewhere on the page. We had a great discussion about what the sticker could represent and we used our ideas to create our own pictures. Have a look at some of our wonderful creations.
