Working with a buddy

-

 This week during maths time the children are working alongside a maths buddy and we will be focusing on what 'makes a good maths buddy.' This will help us set up our expectations for the rest of the year.

Today the children had to show different ways to make/ represent the number 5.

It was great to see our older children step up and model this with the younger children. The children worked really well with their buddies, active listening and working as a team.

Each year the Ahuriri children come to visit the Whio studio. They get to have a look at our space, play with our equipment and their old friends from Ahuriri and meet their possible teachers for next year. It was amazing to see the Whio children being such role models today and really looking after our visitors. We are so proud of them. The Ahuriri children will come for a few more studio visits before the end of the year.
