Christmas 2021

 We had a lot of fun making Reindeer Cookies and Christmas decorations this week.

We used arrowroot biscuits, nutella, M&Ms and pretzels to make our delicious reindeer cookies. It was a lovely treat!

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

Poetry

 WALT respond to different types of poems. We are going to use different poems to help us practice our reading strategies.

Asttle Writing - Narrative Writing

Teacher Note - ‘UNASSISTED’ ASTTLE WRITING
The children write for a total of 40 minutes. Within that timeframe they have to plan their writing (a brainstorm) write, edit and re-craft their work. They are not allowed to use dictionaries or word cards. The students completed their writing on paper but have typed it out for their blogs.

Music with Matua Jade

Every Monday we do music with Matua Jade. I like trying the different instruments and singing into a microphone.

Water - An Amazing Substance

We are using water to help us understand different scientific concepts.

We were doing evaporation experiments, we got a cup of water and tipped it on the ground. Water evaporates in the sun and slower in the shade.

Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori

We had Whaea Seroya last term. We had a lot of fun because every day we had a kupu o te ra like fork - paoka, knife - naihi, spoon - pune, plate - pereti and araia mata - face mask, kapai, pukapuka. My favourite thing that I did my pukapuka. I put Ko wai au? in my pukapuka. That means who are you? I said Remana au. I'm a lemon.

Thank-you Whaea Seroya
