DIVISION AND MULTIPLICATION

Mrs Chicken laid 12 eggs.  Farmer Joe came down with his basket to carry the eggs home.  However, he could only carry 3 eggs in the basket at a time.  How many times did he have to go down to the hen house to bring the eggs back?

(And by the way:  Get a bigger basket was not the answer!)

Awwww boys - you were right - 4 trips.  

You know that 12 divided by 4 = 3.  Tino pai rawa atu.  

You are maths wizards.  

THE ALPHABET SQUABBLE AND COOKIES FROM HARRY'S MUM!

We read the a book called "The Alphabet Squabble".  There were popular letters and unpopular letters - the "x", "y" and "z" were not very popular.   The popular letters were rich and the unpopular letters were poor.  We discussed what "rich" and "poor" would mean.  Kalani - thinking with his cup half full, or with a growth mindset attitude, said that poor meant "only a little bit rich".  What a great way to describe poor Kalani - we love your positive attitude in Team Tahi.  

After we read the story we all made our own Alphabet.  Come and see it really high up on our wall.  We love our alphabet and we love the capital and lower case letters.  We like it because we made it and not a poster which Miss T bought or made from the internet.  We are just an amazing bunch of 5 year olds - just ask us!

After we had read story we were so very lucky to each get a yummy cookie from Jack's Aunty Leanne. We loved these cookies and it was a great to get one each because we were feeling a bit sad because we could not go on our adventure up Te Mata Peak because of the rain.  Thanks Aunty Leanne - you have just gained 13 more nephews and 4 more nieces.  

AMAZING READERS

A busy day in Team Tahi with these awesome reader's.  

We are working hard at learning all the strategies it takes to 

become fantastic readers.  

TEAM ONE TIME

Our first Team 1 time for Term 2 showed our teachers that Team 1 are awesome singers.  WOW!  Our tamariki were amazing singing the National Anthem and Toia Mai!  You absolutely rock Team 1!

Tino pai rawa atu you two.  You are superb role models for others.  We are proud of you.
