M and M Maths... but Tara can we eat them too!
Such fun to finish of our Statistics unit. How many different combinations of colours and amount was in each packet of m & m's. Listening to the children's conversations was enlightening. A fantastic three weeks of learning, culminating in connections being made from tally to graph. Love learning

Bullying
Brett Murray joined us today from Australia with an Anti Bullying message.
The children learnt that bulling is something that happens
ALL THE TIME
Brett gave the children the example of a child in a dark, that is pinched by another child, what should they do?
FLICK THE SWITCH
illuminate the problem. Bullies thrive on keeping adults, teachers, people with authority in the dark.
TELL THE TEACHER
they are not telling tales, if it is something that happens ALL THE TIME.
Interesting facts from the session, were that New Zealand has the highest rate of bullying. Less than 20% of children report bullying. Of that, that is reported...
81% verbal abuse
38% physical abuse
When they children came back to the classroom, they told me that they were champions, and they could repeat each of the highlighted chants. What did they tell you?

Loving this song! The Alphabet song
The children love singing this song as they transition between word of the day and story writing.
