Maths Fun and Games

Today during Maths time we learnt to play some new games. Mrs Kelly is challenging us by giving us some harder games to play. We played games using our addition and subtraction knowledge. It was great working cooperatively with others to learn the games and then teach them to our class mates. We love Maths in Room 1!!!
Meila and Kayla are adding and subtracting numbers to fill in the butterfly wings.
Lily and Ivy-Rose playing 'What comes next?"
Max and Joey using the dice to add numbers.
Theo, Phoenix and MacKay working together playing "Roll a Fact"
Marco and Ryan are looking carefully for dice patterns in their game.
Charlotte and Lucas are adding numbers to 'POP' the clown's balloons.
Indyanna and Oskar are trying to cover all of the pirates treasure chests in their addition game.

Highland Dancing

Today was  the first rehearsal of Room 1's item for the school production at the end of the term. We are very lucky to have Aaron's mum, Amberly, come in and play the bagpipes and show us some highland dancing steps. We listened to her playing the bagpipes and then show us how to dance. Then we all had a go at doing the highland fling.

Having a go to the bagpipe music.
"We are starting to get the hand of Highland Dancing!"
Look at the awesome Highland Dancing. All we need now are our kilts!
Amberly showing us how to dance. Jan is wishing she could join in too.
"We are certainly going to be awesome for the production. We have done some fantastic dancing in only 30 minutes."
BRING IT ON!!!
