Counting backwards from 10

I am learning to order the numbers from 10 backwards to 1.  I know I can do that when the numbers are in order and I am able to count backwards.

" I can put 5 in my head and then count on to the number on the dice." said Anthony

Tread Lightly Caravan visit

The Tread lightly Caravan visit was teaching us that the environment is everything around us in nature and that the environment is really important for us to live (trees for oxygen, water to drink, plants for food etc.) so we need to look after it.

"I was looking at the rocks and glass. The glass is sharp and not good."

Kai and Korero Evening

At the start of the year Elm Park School had a Kai and Korero evening. Our families, students and teachers got together to share what happens in our classrooms and then we finished with a picnic.

Anthony said, "My family is so happy."
