Class 1 has been experiencing and exploring rhythm and its connection with Mathematics.  First, by listening to the sound of our feet against the floor, the sound of our heels and that of our toes.  A heavy or light rhythm and gradually moving as one to the same beat – experiencing the joy of counting and counting and counting.  Each rhythm has its own quality and through this “music” we have developed a feeling for and understanding for what the tables are all about.

With a lump of clay, we have each divided it equally and divided again and again to create a world full of mathematical possibilities.

From a straight line to a curved movement – returning to our building blocks

This week we have continued to look at our local surrounds through the adventures of Norman, who watches the landscape unfold from above, comfortably seated in the beak of Pelican: befriending spiders, fishing off the boat and being saved by dolphins after being swept out to sea.  Through this our kid writing or “talking on paper” efforts deserve to be heartily admired.
