Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don’t give only your care, but give your heart as well –Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

In math we worked on creating patterns.

We practised Making Words using our sounds friends.
Can you guess our mystery word?
Look at all the words we made!
I hope you recognise this.  We've been practising making numbers in different ways for several days.  We're only 14 days into the school year and the students now work independently on this in class each day.
