| The children enjoyed creating a garden for our minibeast display. We filled it with butterflies with symmetrical wings, and various other minibeasts. |
 |
| The children painted wonderful ladybirds for practising their addition. Some students were ready for more challenging calculations so were encouraged to add more spots. |
 |
| The children designed a 'Magical Minibeast' and we wrote out a lits of materials they would need to create their individual works of art. They are 'flying' across the front of the display. |

Hi Shar,
That minibeat display looks really good. Especially because you linked it with maths!
A little off topic but seeing as you have so much teaching experience...any tips for a hyper class? for that one off day when they all go off board??
Thanks.
Thank you :)
I favour the Te Whariki or Reggio approach to teaching where it is so much easier to manage the children through managing the environment. However, I am currently teaching British (English) curriculum which is MUCH more structured and academic at this age. I have loads more of those 'off board' days in this environment. I often use Brain Gym hook-ups to calm them down. I also find reading a great story to the whole class engages them all and grounds them a bit too before moving onto calm activities. HTH
