We love number time in Kowhai

We are learning to match numbers with dice and counting beans.




We are making groups of two's which are faster to count than counting in 1's. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20.








We are skip counting in 5's on the numbers board with the pointers.

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100.



Check out our skip counting rap - it is awesome!!

Making slippery squishy delicious fruit kebabs

We are learning about healthy eating at school - 5+ a day and counting how many pieces of fruit or vegetables we eat every day. Fruit and vegetables helps us stay healthy and give us vitamins to grow strong.

Fruit we tried for the first time - mango and rock melon.

Fruit we like - apple, banana, pear, grapes, and pineapple.



Step 1 - cut the fruit into small pieces.

Step 2 - push the fruit onto the kebab stick in a pattern.

Step 3 - count how many pieces of fruit are there on your stick?

Step 4 - enjoy eating your delicious juicy fruit kebab.

Cross Country Race on Wednesday

The Cross Country Race

On your marks

Get set…...GO!!!!

Wind blowing in my hair.

Racers running everywhere.

I huff and puff and puff and huff.

But I keep running, because I’m tough!

Getting tired and getting puffed.

And at the end you’ve had enough!

Now there’s a smile on my face.

I’m so glad I finished the race.
