International Day- June 10th 2015

 We had a busy but fun day yesterday for International Day. We travelled to India, Brazil, Finland and Cuba and found out lots of interesting facts about the countries and even got to taste some food from there... Have a look at us as we travelled around yesterday.

Visit from dogs for disabled.

On Thursday we had a visit from the Dogs for Disabled. They brought their dog Harrison. He is 10 months old. They explained how they are training him and how to act around dogs we don't know.

Maths- Word Problems/ Problem Solving

Here are some links to help consolidate learning around word problems/Problem solving.

The children enjoy seeing their own name in word problems also so they may wish to write/solve their own problems.

Remember the have a list of maths words in their folder. It is important that they are confident and recognising these words and understand them as these words are common in word problems.

We are learning about money in Maths. Here are some fun games that we enjoyed playing today.
We only learn about coins as far as 50c in 1st class so choose coins as far as this only when you are setting up the game.
