We had a couple of hours at the beach before the beach was eaten as the water climbed up the beach. Maia F

When we went down the slide it felt like our stomaches were now somewhere else in our bodies like we were on a roller coaster as there was a really steep drop. Nia

When I went in the house I felt a warm breeze welcoming me. It gave me goosebumps on the inside and outside. Maia P

Maths - Mapping

In Maths we are learning about maps and how to use them to give directions and find places. Today we worked in pairs to give directions to our buddy to get from school to another point on the map. We have learnt about co-ordinates, grids and giving directions using specific descriptions such as turn at the third street on the left. We are really enjoying this learning. Ask your child to navigate next time you are out.
