Patterns and more patterns!

We have been looking at patterns for our maths focus in the last two weeks.

The children have been busy identifying patterns in the world around us, and making patterns using different materials in the classroom. 

It is great to see how quickly some students become aware of the repeat of a pattern. This helps them to identify what will come next... Or even what the pattern will be in 2 or 3 changes. Great reasoning when you are still only  five!

Here are some pictures of our work....

ROOM 6 RAMBLES!

We have had a busy start to the year! 

Isaac and khan have joined us and we have welcomed Brodie back after he started the year with chicken pox!

We are looking forward to the athletic sports at Kaponga  on Thursday. We are all practising hard at fitness in the mornings so we can run like the wind and score top points. It would be great if Matapu got placed this year!

At swimming we are all learning how to float using noodles and milk bottles. Thank you to Deanne and Michele for helping us every day.
