This week in Numeracy we have been learning how to find the missing number in addition sums. We have taken time to discuss the strategies we have used to find our answers.<\/p>\n

Something add 2 equals 10.<\/p>\n

Abdullah-\u201cWe start at the 10 and jump back 2 places on the number line. The answer is 8.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leo- \u201cIf the missing number is in the middle of the sum we start with the number at the beginning and jump up to the total number.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zoe- \u201c2 add something equals 10. Start at the 2 and jump up til you get to the number 10. The answer should be 8.\u201d<\/p>\n

The game we have had for homework this week is a great game to learn how to complete missing number sums.
\nWe have also been using it in class.

Also in numeracy we have been learning about doubles and near doubles. At our ICT station \u00a0we have been playing this really fun game which helps us build our understanding of near doubles. Here is the link so you can play at home.

We have begun brushing our teeth in class. We brush our teeth once a day. To show our understanding of how important it is to brush our teeth we made posters in writing. We had to use appropriate language for our posters\u00a0so as part of our smart start we recorded words which we associate with brushing teeth.<\/p>\n

We think everyone will make sure they brush their teeth after seeing our posters. Here are two examples below.

In topic we have been learning about the force of air on an object. We created our own rockets and we used a rocket launcher to launch them into the sky. The air from the pump pushed against the rocket to lift them off. We loved going outside to launch our rockets.<\/p>\n

We asked to learn about the speed of cars. So we decided to test how fast a toy car would go on different materials down a ramp. We took to push the car down the ramp. We also took turns to use the Ipad to record it and to time the speed.<\/p>\n

To learn about Road Safety we went for a walk outdoors to observe the traffic that passed by. We discussed the different types of traffic we saw, how to be aware of oncoming cars and we also counted the traffic.

In PE for a warm up we practised our hula hooping skills. We loved using the Hula hoops.
\nPoppy \u201dI can spin the hoop really fast.\u201d
\nMaja \u201cI can spin the hoop for a long time.\u201d
