The chickens may have gone but the week was still really busy. In reading we have been making connections with the books we have been reading. We really enjoyed the book Our Granny because we could make lots of connections with our own grannies. In writing we have started to use Retrieval Charts to collect information to write Reports. Of course the first Report we are going to write is on Chickens. We now know lots about them!!! In maths we have been working on Repeated Addition and have done some great open ended activities. This week we made up lolly bags for a party and had to make sure everyone had the same amount of lollies in their bags. Mrs. Wynde even brought in real lollies and we had them for a treat! We called that activity "Yummy Maths." In the afternoon we have started a Chicken Project. We are going to do 3 activities. One group is creating a Photostory on the computer about our chickens, the other is making a collage of a chicken environment and the 3rd group are creating a Life Cycle of the Chicken.
Ryan says this blog site is very, very awesome. I think the photos of the children (and the chickens!) and the descriptions of the activities the children are engaged in are really great. Ryan's mum. This is a test post so I can try it out.
