How long is a minute?

This week in maths we have been exploring how long a minute is. We found out that 60 seconds makes a minute. We estimated, then checked how many different things we could do in a minute.

Next we are going to learn to tell the time to the hour and half hour.

At home it would be great if you could support your child's learning by stating the time when certain things happen especially if it is on the hour or half hour. For example: "Look! It's 8 o'clock, time for bed" or " It's 5:30, time for tea"

Maths: Length

Today we got to measure things in the studio.
We learnt that you:
* have to start measuring at the beginning
* need to use the same thing
* need to say what you measured with

We had lots of fun.

Reese measured Daisy with animal shapes.

Ava and Abbie worked together. This Abbie measuring Ava.

Terence measured lots of things, including one of our dinosaur pictures.

One of the things we had to measure was the Lego table.

Harapar and Georgia measured the sparkly pointer.

I wonder how long Alice is?

We had to count lots of blocks.

Mela and Sienna worked together.

We learnt Mrs O'Neill is 94 blocks long.

Tally Charts

We have been learning how to use tally marks. We did a tally of our favourite pets. We learnt that we put the fifth tally mark around the bundle. That makes it easy to count the tally marks.

Next we chose our own question about what we wanted to find out about our T group. Then we went and asked our question to everyone in our Tgroup
