DAY 10 - ZERO THE HERO's FIRST VISIT

On Tuesday we had ZERO THE HERO visit our classroom.

WHY?

Because it was DAY 10 of the school year!

ZERO THE HERO visited because we are counting up to the 100th day of school. He's going to help us count in tens, visiting us every '10' days until we reach the '100th' day, when we'll have a big celebration.

ZERO is going to help us understand place value and the important role 'zero' has in a number.

This was ZERO THE HERO's first visit, so he told us a little about himself, not by speaking but through strange looking designs called 'qr codes'. We needed MRs M's iphone to scan and read the codes. One of the codes had a link to ZERO THE HERO's favourite video -' ZERO, MY HERO'.



When ZERO visits, we have special activities that help us count in tens.
Watch the ANIMOTO we made to show what we did to celebrate DAY 10.


We can't wait for ZERO THE HERO to visit again.
