It has been such a lovely week and we have tried to get outside to take advantage of the sun. We went running on the track a couple of times and we played games outside for Golden Time on Friday.
We went on a sounds/word hunt outside one day (but I didn't get a chance to take any photos of the children in action.) We all started out identifying the initial sound from things we found in the yard. Some children progressed on to writing the full words down. They tried sounding them out and what fantastic attempts they made. Have a look!
In maths, we have moved on to addition (number stories) and the children have been fantastic. So far, we are up to the number story 3 but we will add numbers up to 5 in school and we really encourage the children touching while counting and also counting in an order to avoid confusion (left to right, like reading and starting at the top.)
We are learning this song at the moment. We love it, especially the chorus. :)

Here are our lovely Rocai Rua with his friends. I forgot to put up last week's photos (but the children reminded me!) so here they all are.
