Patterns in Maths


 One of the stations we can choose at maths time is 'shapes'. We experiment with different attribute foam shapes. Sometimes we can fit them together to make a picture, sometimes we work together to make the longest shape and sometimes we like to make tessellations. Fuzzy also joins in because he has great listening skills.


Tick Tock

We have been learning about time. Today we made huge clocks with hula hoops. We worked together in small groups to write the numbers and put them on our clock the correct way. The best part was helping each other, the tricky part was remembering the spaces between our letters so they went all the way around the clock. Heaps of learning and discussion.

Billy Makes the South Island

At Pataitai stations we are able to use playdough to fill in the map to make landscapes. Billy made the landscape of the South Island of New Zealand. He is pointing to where Wanaka is.
