HEALTHY EATING DISCOVERY TIME

Room 2 have been learning about Healthy Eating.  For discovery this week they got to make fruit kebabs,  sandwiches, they peeled and chopped up carrots and celery and tried different dips.  Many of the children enjoyed using Mrs Wills' apple decorer!

Maths Challenge Monday 23rd March

Today I gave the kids a fraction snake activity. Eating snakes is a delicacy in some parts of the world. Three people (colours on the left side of the picture) have ordered a piece of this snake but they would like at least half of the piece to match their colour.

Here are the rules for the activity:

1) The snake must be cut up into three pieces (they do not have be even pieces).

2) The 3 recipients of the snake pieces must get at least half of their own colour in their piece. 

Good luck and if you solve start making your own that follow the same rules as this but are different patterns.

Some the Reading Groups will have a focus over the next couple of weeks to start to discover what types of books they are interested in. It could be an author, a genre, or a specific topic. There choices in books should then begin to reflect what they are interested in. Begin or continue to discuss this idea with them at home when Reading.
