Welcome back to Term 2!

Team Toru have had an awesome start to Term 2.  We are learning about Eric Carle and have been focusing on the Very Hungry Caterpillar this week.  Come and have a look at our 2 big caterpillars in class!
We are focusing on Measurement for Maths over the next few weeks.  Today, alongside our buddies, we were given a piece of paper to create a paper chain as long as we could.  Tomorrow we will measure these as a class to determine which pair created the longest chain and what strategy they used to achieve this.  I wonder how we will measure the length of these?  I wonder which strategy proves to be the most effective?




As a Hot Spot activity we have been using dominoes to create addition number sentences.  Mrs Gempton has given us a number eg) 15, and we have to take our pack of dominoes away in groups and find dominoes that add to 15 and record these number sentences in our books.  We are starting to get quicker and quicker at this!
