We are learning to use a range of counting, grouping, and equal-sharing strategies with whole numbers and fractions.
They can talk about whole, halves, quarters and be able to use equal share strategies to solve maths problems

For the last 3 weeks, we have had our local police officer Hoani Matua come into our class to teach us about Keeping ourselves Safe. The children have learnt the importance of knowing their first name and their and surname. They are learning their address. They are learning about their body and the names they should use and what touches they like and don't like.
