Team 8's First Assembly
If you couldn't make it today, here we are looking super cool in our Mufti clothes and smashing out an awesome performance. Ka pai to mahi Roopu Waru!
Learning our Letter Sounds
Every Friday we have a special helper who comes in and leads our Alphabet song! (We are still learning what letters 'jump' and what letters slide!).
Thanks for all your help Daimon!

A New Green Team Member
On Tuesday a Praying Mantis came to visit Team 8. We put him carefully in a container and watched him and talked about what he looked like. Some of us even wrote stories about him!

The Praying Mantis had long legs, big eyes out the front. He had wings too.
Team 8 decided that the Praying Mantis needed to go in his own environment. Team 8 talked about where would be a safe place for him to go. Here we are letting him go.
He liked his new home!

Ordering Numbers
Today we worked together to order our numbers. We were given a number and had to get in a line standing next to our 'buddy'. Our buddy could have been the number BEFORE or the numbers AFTER us.
We had great conversations around numbers.
Can you see us using any of the following Key Competencies in the movie?
