Mrs T's dog, Lola, isn't well at the moment. Today Lola had to spend the day at the vet. Mrs T's other dog, Frank, does not cope being on his own! He gets very upset and worried when he's alone so Mrs T brought him to school. He had the best day ever!
Frank played Octopus with Room 20 for fitness. Then Bella and Mayar read him a story each. After that Frank was excited to look at the comic strips that Room 13 were making. He then headed into the Library and listened to some of the Room 12 children read him a chapter from their books. Room 19 had some super star tamariki who came into Mrs T's office to get some "Frank Smooches" as a special reward. Frank's going to want to come to school every day!

Some of us have been working hard to learn the numbers that add to 10. We need to know them as quick as a flick. These include: 2+8, 4+6, 7+3, etc. If we know these basic facts, we can use them to add and subtract numbers easily, without counting. For example, if we know 4+6=10, we can use that basic fact to help us know 40+60=100 (4 tens + 6 tens = 10 tens). Today the Circles used their knowledge of numbers that add to 10, to quickly add together three numbers WITHOUT COUNTING. The idea was to find the compatible numbers - the two numbers that added together to make 10. Then the Circles needed to use their knowledge of teen numbers to add on the third number WITHOUT COUNTING, and find the answer. We found that we could add these 3 numbers really, really quickly! We had to work it out quickly because Mrs T "drove" the "train" of numbers into the "train station" where we couldn't see it. We practised explaining our maths workings to each other (you can see Irene doing this in the video below), and also writing down the number sentence that showed how we worked it out (you can see Niamh and Tavita's workings in the photos). |
