The Grade 2 enjoy solving numeracy problems. Our latest challenge was a computer-based puzzle and involved a nature reserve where six pairs of animals need to be given new homes in six different environments. The children were given clues, which included positional language, to help them decide which animals should live in which areas.
After, the children worked in pairs to position their own animals and wrote clues for another pair of children to use. They enjoyed doing these so much that that the class decided to make a large display so that children in other classes could have a go. The children all worked together to make a large-scale version of the Nature Reserve plan and movable animal cards. We hope you get a chance to come into the Computer Room and have a go at solving our Numeracy puzzle!

For those of you interested in learning to play the guitar, this is a great site. The teacher, Ben, really breaks the teaching down into easy to follow segments. Although some of the lessons are easier than others, they are probably suitable for older children and adults. Josh is thoroughly enjoying them and is looking forward to playing when he comes back to Provo.
