COME WITH US TO VIETNAM!

xin chào - Hello

Chào mừng bạn đến viet nam - Welcome to Vietnam

Thuong Nguyen, also commonly known as Vietnam Lantern Festival or First Full Moon Festival is held on the first full moon day of the first lunar month. This festival is mostly held in temples of pagodas because the full moon day is called the day of Buddha.

Lanterns in the making!

 

 

 

 

We also learnt how to count 1-10 in Vietnamese, thanks to our Vietnamese teacher Jenny who came all the way from Room 14 to help us with our counting.

1-10 in Vietnam - Mot = One, Hai = Two, Ba = Three, Bon = Four, Nam = Five, Sau = Six, Bay =Seven, Tam = Eight, Chin = Nine, and Muoi =Ten.

By discussing children's thoughts, children are clarifying their learning. 

We can use materials or draw pictures to solve word problems.

3 + 3 + 4 = 10

3 + 3 + 3 + 1 = 10

5 + 5 = 10

6 + 4 =10

5 + 5 = 10

3 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 10

Reading and Writing in Ruma Waru!

In Room 8, we love Reading and Writing.  This is one of our favourite activities our teacher introduced and modelled this morning. We are learning how to read and write our sentences independently. We do this activity in Reading or Writing times.  While Mrs M and Mrs Watson are teaching other groups, we work on this activity independently.
