Fractions, fractions

We have been exploring fractions in maths.  These children were comparing fractions by making them with fraction circles.

Here they are matching fractions with their symbols.

Netball Fun

This week we had our final netball session with Jeanette.  This time we got to put the skills we had learnt into practice in a junior netball game.  We had 4 payers on each team plus one at each end holding up a large hoop.  We really enjoyed playing this junior version of the game and we will play it again on rainy days because it can be played in the hall.  Netball NZ and Fun Ferns have given the junior school all of the specialised junior equipment that we need to continue the teaching and learning of Fun Fern netball skills.

Celebrating Dolls

On Wednesday Lincoln was finally able to play in his new dolls house.  We celebrated by making paper dolls, playing with dolls and the dolls house and watching Toy Story.  We hosted Paul Hammond from Mitre 10, who arranged for all of the materials to be donated to Lincoln for the dolls house.  Lincoln was so happy that he played in the dolls house for a great deal of the day.  We also had a special morning tea with our guests.  Our thanks to Mitre 10 for the materials, Marson Flooring for the carpet and vinyl and Richard Cresswell for the technical assistance in putting together the doll house.  We couldn't have done it without you all - thank you.
