This week we have been learning about fractions during maths time. We have been focussing on equal halves. On Friday Funday we decided to make some toast so we could practise cutting equal halves. Yum!!

Week 3 Term 3

On Thursday we had some very special visitors from South East Asia. They were government officials that have come to N.Z. to improve their english. They taught us how to say hello in their language.

During our literacy time we have lots of 'jobs' to do. We rotate around in small groups to complete our tasks.
