We are working on setting up routines and coming to a shared understanding of how we work in Room 10.
In Maths we have been brushing up on our Place Value knowledge and learning some different games along the way.
We have also been looking at reading and have worked on a reading goal for everyone.

Here are some of our stories.
I can see the clouds blocking some of the sea;
North, South, and Central America;
The green countries are very big;
The clouds are like white pale snow;
The sea is baby blue colour;
The clouds are swaying;
The planet is a multi colour world.
