This week we decided to try and use the sandpit for something other than building. During maths time we got out there and started writing numbers in our sandpit! We had a competition to see who could write the biggest number, that's why you can see so many 3 digit numbers in the sand. I wonder what other cool maths activities we could do in the sandpit this week?
This year we are doing phonics in our homerooms. Kiwi class looks at two letters and their matching sounds every week. Weka and Pukeko classes work together on one letter of the week. Each week we have a letter of the week wall where we display all the things we can find that begin with our letter of the week. Last week our letter was H and we had some fun having Harlin Haines wearing a hat on our h wall. Too cute not to share! This week our letter is J so get your thinking caps on Weka and Pukeko classes, what words do you know that start with J?
What a good idea to use the sandpit for writing numbers. I hope you don't mind Miss Harris but I would like to get our children to do that as well - as long as it stops raining! What is the biggest number someone wrote?

What fun you are having with your learning! My maths children would like to do this activity too. We might try it next week if the weather is nice.
