Maths

In Maths we are learning about Multiplication and Division this term.  We have four groups and Miss Ward takes two and Miss Chapman takes two.  Today one of Miss Ward's group were learning how to use arrays as multiplication problems. For example skip counting to reach an answer and then turning this into a suitable multiplication problem...instead of 3+3+3+3+3=15, change this to 5x3=15.

Check out some photos of us below working in our groups:

Sports Activator

Today we had a visit from Rory who came to teach us some golf skills.
We learnt many things including how to stand correctly when hitting the ball and tips on having a good swing.

It was the perfect day to get outside and enjoy the sun and  practice our new skills we have learnt. We really enjoyed our visit. Thanks for coming Rory.

Check out some photos of us doing golf!

Cross Country Training

We are busy training for the Small Schools Cross Country on Wednesday August 12th at Clinton (postponement date Friday August 14th).  Everyone needs to make sure they come to school with a drink bottle, suitable gym shoes to run in and inhalers if they happen to have asthma.  We train at the same time as the Junior and Senior room but we have different lengths we have to run.

Space Week!

Today we shared our Explain Everythings and Book Creators that we made about our fruit aliens. There were some neat stories created and Miss Ward and Mrs Ramsay are so impressed with how well everyone's skills are developing with technology. The Junior and Middle Room children worked really well together and have been extremely engaged all week for our space activities. Well done everyone!
