More Magnificent Maths!

WALT: Show bonds of 10

Wow! We have gone from learning to our bonds of five to our bonds of 10 in just ONE week. Aren’t we clever?! 

The Busy Bees are becoming such experts at using PicCollage that they wanted to make more photos in their collages. 

Here were are creating our bonds to 10:

And here are our wonderful collages! Awesome work Busy Bees! 

Sharing Circle

Each Friday we do a sharing circle in the Busy Bees. This is where we can bring one thing from home to show and tell to our classmates. We are learning to describe, listen carefully and ask questions beginning with who, what, where, how and why. We also show Kotahitanga in our sharing circle because we are learning more about our classmates and developing new friendships.

Here is a collage of our sharing circles so far:

WALT: Show number bonds to 5

We have been learning how to use PicCollage to show our number bonds to 5.

Here are our number bonds to 5 we came up with:

We used all sorts of different things around the classroom to make our number bonds to five. Vanessa thought our photos were very creative and we showed different ways to make 5. 

Busy Bees Class Treaty

This is our class treaty. We are very proud of it! We came up with these promises in week one after we had a collaborative discussion about the type of class we want the Busy Bees to look like, sound like and feel like. How clever were we to come up with “look after each other by sharing and being a good friend” ALL by ourselves?! We really blew Vanessa away with that!

We all signed our treaty using our hands painted in black and yellow – just like Bees! So far we have done a fantastic job of following the promises we made and this makes our class a very special one to be a part of.
