Great work James!
We learned in class how to make a tally chart. James went home and made his own tally chart - all the way to 1028!
Statistics
Today Mrs Simmons brought along some Easter eggs. Blue was the most, then gold and then pink. We counted them. There were 54 eggs. Two for each child in class and one each for the Simmons family - yum! By Lucy

ANZAC day
Ella showed us a poppy that her Dad made with his Scouts group. Why do we celebrate ANZAC Day? Why do we wear poppies?
Yummy pancakes
Thanks to Onnah and her Mum Lauren, we were treated to some delicious pancakes this morning. Onnah read a book in class that described how to make pancakes and she made them at home. They came to school beautifully presented on a white plate with sugar, lemon and a knife and fork - yum!

Our beautiful sunflower
How many seeds do you think are in our sunflower? We will dry out out in the sun and then we will collect the seeds to plant in the school gardens at the end of the year.

A Dinosaur Mural
This week the Kiwi reading group read a book called A Dinosaur Mural. It had instructions on how to make a mural. Then at discovery time the picture smart children had the opportunity to read the book, follow the instructions and make their own mural - we think it looks great!
