We love cookies.......especially when they help us to learn subtraction!

Our friend the Cookie Monster has been helping us to learn about subtraction.  

We know that when we subtract one number from another we end up with 'less'.  
This is a big mathematical idea and this understanding helps us to estimate if our answer is likely to be correct or not.

The Cookie Monster story problems have helped us to understand subtraction as 'taking away' and to also count back on a number line to solve subtraction number sentences.








We certainly enjoyed 'taking away'.









The Easter Bunny visited us last week!

On Thursday, last week, we started our day by making our very own HOT CROSS BUNS!  
They were delicious!














Then we made some Easter baskets and lovely Easter leadlights.








 Finally, the Easter Bunny paid us a visit and we hunted around the playground to find our Easter goodies!

Arigatou gozaimasu Buntoku High School.


We were delighted today to have the students from 
Buntoku High School in Japan, visit our classroom!

They wowed us with their origami skills and we were lucky enough to try and make some of this stunning paper art ourselves.

Look at what we managed to create!
