Miss Kirkham's Last Day

On Friday it was Miss Kirkham's last day in Room 13!!!

She has been a fantastic teacher and we have loved every minute of her being with us.

 We had a few games to celebrate Miss Kirkham's last day. We played musical chairs, corners, musical statues, pass the kiwi and sang some songs. It was SO much fun. 

Thank you for being such an awesome teacher Miss Kirkham and thank you for the goodie bags with the pencils, rubbers and stamps. You were very kind.

We miss Miss Kirkham already but she has promised to pop in to see us once her exams are finished.

We have loved having Miss Kirkham as our teacher.

Miss Kirkham has been teaching us. We have loved watching Miss Kirkham learning new skills. We will miss her when she is not here. We have one more week together. 

 Miss Kirkham was funny when she was pretending to be Mother Kangaroo from our big book. We asked lots of questions starting with Why? Who? What? Where? When? 

 Miss Kirkham is very clever with Maths. She loved teaching us our basic facts.

 Reading with Miss Kirkham is lots of fun too. We always try our best. 

Miss Kirkham has been taking a Maths group to work on Place Value. They are getting very clever at understanding Hundreds, Tens and Ones in BIG numbers and how to explain strategies when the solve addition and subtraction problems. 

2D Shape Pictures

We have been learning to name and describe 2D and 3D shapes. We drew around 2D shapes to make some lovely shape pictures.

ASB Get Wise - Financial Literacy Session

Today we had Julian from the ASB Bank in Room 13 to teach us about money. He taught us a rhyme that goes 'Speed to your need, Wait for your wants.' He dressed up as a superhero and told us some very funny stories about what we need compared to what we want. We learnt about notes and coins. We ordered the notes and the coins from the highest value to the lowest value.

Fun with Maths

Today we used the numbers 0-20 to make a human numberline. We counted forwards, backwards, said the number before and after, then we ordered random numbers to 20. What a fun lesson!!
