Thank you all so much for your emails yesterday, each one filled up my cup with happiness and spread a giant smile on my face. Isn't it amazing that we can keep in touch despite not being able to be together. I know it is not quite the same, but hopefully it helps a little. I saw Ella-rose today while I was out for my walk, so lovely to see your smiling face Ella, it made my day!
Today we did some cutting and painting as a family, even our cat Miss Honey wanted to get involved and got paint all over her paws. I had to put her outside so she didn't get paint on the carpet, funny cat. You might be able to see a wee bit of paint on her head and paw in this photo.

A reminder to please email me at staceym@ch.steiner.school.nz as the class email system has to go through Sabine before it gets to me. Easier to do it directly to my school email so we save her a job. Thank you 💗
As usual, for today you will have daily spelling, math and reading, your subject lessons today are math, form drawing and sport.
Spelling:
Today's spelling challenge is to put each word in to a sentence (see yesterday's post for the words).
Yesterday I asked you to record the words somewhere and to be as creative as you like. I really enjoyed this photo sent to me by Dylan, how many places can you see words written? Amazing work Dylan!
Daily Maths:
Each day I will be giving prizes to the first 5 correct answers for the questions, make sure you answer all of them to be in to win and check back to see if you were correct. If you were incorrect initially you still get a chance to revisit the questions and change your answers. Today's prizes were chocolate fish (vegan ones also available). Congratulations to Ari, William, Phoebe, Ciaran and Blake for getting chocolate fish. Special mention also to Briar who was a very close sixth (missed out by about 3 minutes) and Sian who also sent in answers and was correct. Daily posts are available at 8:40am when school starts so get in early if you want a prize. I think some of you will be very excited about today's treat, especially Annie 😄
Today's math:
1. A baseball and a bat: Kate bought a baseball and a bat for $110. How much did the bat cost if the bat cost $100 more than the baseball?
2. Five odd numbers: Find five consecutive odd numbers that add to 155.
Reading:
Work on your reading log (described in yesterday's post).
Math:
*disclaimer, you do not have to do this part for the daily math prize, only the two questions above.
Remember we learned about polygons in our last main lesson at school? Polygons are shapes that have at least 3 sides and angles.
This asks you about simple and complex polygons, simple polygons' lines do not intersect each other (remember intersecting lines are like an intersection in a road). Complex ones do... here's a picture I found that may help explain it better...

Form drawing:
Today's form is different to what we had been doing in class but easier to explain without watching me do it. Start with the circle, then the shapes on the inside, lastly the shapes outside the circle. Notice how you could do all the steps after the initial circle with one loopy line? Try tracing it in the air or on the paper with your finger being using a pencil. Also, remember to press softly when you begin, you can go over darker afterwards with your colours. You can do this with your pencils on paper, or with chalk on your footpath if you've got some, get creative, I'd love to see where you put these around your home.
Sport:
Sport today is your own free choice. If we were at school we would have cross country coming up in a couple of weeks so you could practice your running (safely in your bubble around your neighborhood of course). Another option is to plan and do a workout, see if you can get someone else in your bubble to do your workout, send it to me and I can do it to, I'd love a challenge. Something else you could do is play or make up a game, depending on how many people are in your bubble and free to join you, this could be tricky. A girl about your age in my neighborhood had made a giant snakes and ladders with chalk, it's very cool, Instead of having pieces you use your body to move up and down. I took a photo of it for you today. Maybe you could make one at home?
Lastly, I was so impressed with the writing that I saw yesterday. Feel free to take a photo of what you wrote and send it to me, otherwise bring it with you when we get back to school and I can see it then. Keep up the good work, show me what you are doing or even just write a message to touch base and say hi, either way I always love hearing from you.
