Jolly Phonics - 'ng' sound

Today the Jolly Phonics sound that one of our groups focused on was 'ng'.

We did some dictation and wrote lots of words that have the 'ng' sound in them.

We are also working hard to form our letters correctly.

Look at all the words we could write!

We are learning to identify numbers

We love playing the fly swat game to help us identify numbers.

 We are put in two different teams and Miss Brown calls out a number. It is a race to swat the number first.
We are getting really good at quickly finding numbers. Some of us can identify numbers up to 100!

We are all special

Our topic is Keeping Ourselves Safe. 

We talked about why we are special and unique a drew a picture to show this.

These are our wonderful pictures.

Maths superstars

We are learning to identify and order numbers up to 20.

Look at our wonderful learners in action:

Mathletics winners!

This week Room 2 was the winning class for Mathletics at Hinuera School!

Everyone in Room 2 got their certificates.

Well done to Jennifer, Lachlan, Aiden and Corey who got silver certificates, and Emily for getting her very first mathletics certificate!

We love the library!

We love going to the library and looking at all the wonderful books.

Room 2 go to the library on Fridays.

In the library we are learning to choose a book we would like to look at. We can also find some words that we know in books.

We like to look at books with a friend.

We found a book with a monarch butterfly in.

At the end of our library time we like to listen to a story. 

What kind of books do you like to read?

Caterpillar Hunt!

As part of our "Creepy Crawlies' topic we are focusing on the life cycle of a butterfly.  

Today we went on a hunt to find caterpillars to observe what we could notice and to look at changes that we will start to see.

Here are some photos of the caterpillars that we found:
