Some images from week one

A week of building knowledge.

We have been building on our basic facts knowledge by exploring Family of Facts, what makes 10 and 20 and our doubles. We have also been working on our place value understanding, but most importantly we have been developing our knowledge of each other and how we are going to work together and build our relationships so we feel comfortable and able to discuss our learning with each other.

We made little families of facts who lived in a house together

Milania showing us what it means to 'be responsible
 for each other's learning' - one of our guidelines.

Everyone had a fact on their back and had to work out 'who'
they were by only getting clues like 'Your brother is 5 + 2 = 7'.

Playing NUDGE the place value game.
What did it take to Nudge  Milania? 999 of course!

We all like playing Traffic lights.

Someone even got it within three goes!

Making sure we work as a team.

It was going well until Whaea Emma forgot HER number!
Thank goodness for the ALiM@SPS team!
