Learning for Wednesday 6th May

Ko  Rāapa tenei ra.  Today is Wednesday 6th May

To begin each day, let’s start with the karakia  Can you read our karakia with me… Activity 1:  How many steps does it take to make  a piece of toast?  Rhonda shared this activity with me, what a neat idea... Making Toast Think about the steps it takes to make a piece of toast. What do you do first, then next? What is the last thing you do? On a piece of paper record the steps you take:   You could draw pictures or use words or labels, I’ve started you off... 1:  A loaf of bread 2:  Take a slice of bread 3:  … I wonder how many steps it took for you to make a piece of toast?

Activity 2:  Numbers around your neighborhood... Jenny shared this activity with me... Here are some ideas for maths learning that you can do on walks or bike rides around your neighbourhood in the next few days. Find a letterbox number and use it as a starting point to count forwards or backwards from. As an extra challenge you could try counting in 2s or 10s, forwards or backwards from that number. You could use the seesaw tools to show me what you’ve learnt... I would love to hear what you have done. You could take a photo or a video or draw a picture and tell me about it using labels or record your voice or you could write a note

Activity 3: Listen to The Digging-est Dog By Al Perkins. For this activity, our focus is on ‘re telling’ a story…this is a  great learning tool to have... Find someone in your bubble then retell the story to them… Re telling means, remembering what happened in the story  and telling another person.    You might like to also draw a picture about your favourite character...

Activity 4: Complete Mathletics tasks set by your teacher.

Activity 5: Log on to Sunshine Classics with your own login and read some stories or have them read to you.   Have a look at the follow-up activities too.
