The marvellous mathematicians in Room 2 have explored many ways of developing and using their mathematics skills in their morning rotations through individual activities and their shared games. They have also shown respect and patience as turn taking and sharing has been required. Learning about the Noongar Six Seasons has encouraged us to look more closely at the plants that are in flower during each season.

Recently, we have also added learning to tie our shoelaces to our morning activities. It has been wonderful to see everyone striving to learn the steps involved to meet this challenge.

We have thoroughly enjoyed the first of our Sensorium Theatre sessions as we learnt about the weather and the land, and met Old Stephen.
