Class Compliment Reward Day

We  reached our target of 50 class compliments earlier this week.  Today we had our reward -  ice cream and a play on the 'big kids' playground after lunch,  

The ice cream was delicious, delectable, divine and scrumptious.

Lots of learning about tallying, skip counting in fives, groupings of five and repeat addition  has been happening as our points have been growing.

Our next reward target will be discussed at school tomorrow.  Maybe 60 or 70??? Ask your child on Friday night.

Our Happy Cakes

As follow up to one group's reading book, we all made mini Happy Cakes.  To do this we had to be super clever and double the recipe.  This involved some very clever thinking.  Not only did we double cups,  but also 100 grams to 200, and we even practised our knowledge of fractions,  doubling one quarter of a cup of cocoa to make  half  a cup.  

 Any shell left in the bowl Charlie? No, not even a tiny bit.  Well done to all the children who cracked eggs, they were all of Master Chef standard!

 Everybody had a turn mixing and beating with a hand beater.

 Look at all the happy faces, both children and cakes. 

We decided they tasted delectable and divine!  

A quiet read after a very hot lunchtime - what a cosy bunch!

Everybody decided it was a thumbs up day today :-)
