Overview
This week we have been planning to make edible marshmallow snow people bags for Christmas to sell at the school Christmas fete.
We have started focusing on subtraction in numeracy. We started by having pencils and other concrete materials to help us. Now it’s the end of the week and we have looked at counting backwards, using a number line and using a rekinrek to help us.
Parental Involvement
