Making numbers

The circles maths group have been learning how to identify numbers 0-10. Today we tried using playdough to make some numbers. Some were harder to make than others. We are also learning to say what number comes before and after a number (to ten). Parents - if you could please practise this at home with your child that would be great!



Apple pikelets

On Thursday Room 2 made pikelets with Mrs Weir. First we went outside to the garden and picked the apples off the tree. Then we grated the apples and mixed them in a big bowl with some flour, baking powder and milk. We all had a turn to stir the mixture. Next we watched Mrs Weir cook the pikelets in a big frying pan. After that we got to eat them. They were delicious! We even left one for Miss Ristrom on her desk.
