How we like to travel

We made a really nice data chart of the ways in which we like to travel.
We talked about the advantages and disadvantages of each way.
Cycling is the healthiest way to travel, but it is a little slow and you can get wet.
A car is the handiest way to travel, but you don't get any exercise if you use the car.
Most of us like to fly or use the bike.

Favourite foods data charts

We made two great data charts today while we were talking about healthy eating.
Our first data chart was on our favourite foods.
Can you guess our most popular food?
 We like pizza the best and pasta the least!
 Ice cream was the favourite and surprisingly no one chose crisps, sweets or lollipops!
Our second data chart was on our favourite treat.
In case you were wondering, we love ice cream the best!

Banker's game

We have been playing a banker's game.
Each player throws the dice, then counts out pegs, 1c coins, matchsticks or little blocks.
When a player has 10 he/she can swap.
The pegs can be changed for a counter, 1c for 10c, matchsticks for lollipop sticks and blocks for towers.
The winner is the player at the end who has the most.

We played a giant game of Snakes and Ladders.
It is a fun game and it is good for our Maths skills.

Maths activity time

We had great fun using peg boards and counting teddies to make interesting patterns!

Signs of Spring

We are noticing signs of spring all around us.
Today we had to choose our favourite sign of spring.
We made a data chart of this and had fun comparing the different things.

Peg strips and number stories

We have new peg strips to help us with our Maths.
Today we were figuring out the number stories for the number 9.
We can see that                        0+9=9                                3+6=9                                                   
We are good at using our new peg strips.
