Sasa Practice

We have been practising the School Sasa everyday in Room 8. Today we started learning the last part, check out these clever, coordinated cookies! We need to fix up some of our kupu (words) but our beat is nearly spot on!

We are all very excited for Polyfest in Week 6!

Ko Pokatu mātou - AUE!

Week 7 Update and Looking Forward

Kia ora koutou!

Sorry we have not been posting a lot this week, it has been a very busy week with our visitors from the Education Review Office.

We have now set up each of our individual learning journeys (student blogs). These blogs are private and can only be accessed through our class google account. If you would like to become an 'author' so that you can post comments on your child's blog, I am more than happy to set this up for you (all I need is your email address).

WOW! We have had an amazing two weeks listening to everyone share their pēpeha for oral language! Miss Osborn is blown away by our out-of-this-world pronunciation! For the next few weeks we will be sharing a book review for news. Below are a few examples of children delivering oral book reviews. Students will be given the opportunity to prepare their book review in class (during reading time) and are allowed to use our classroom devices to pre-record this as one of their 'can do' tasks.

Because we have a short couple of weeks with the Easter break coming up, homework will look a little different this week; we are going to be doing Hauora Homework. Your child will explain to you how this works on Monday afternoon.

Mā te wā (until next time)

Miss O

Here we are putting our 'science glasses' on!

WALT make 10

For homework this week, we are learning to make 10 in as many ways as possible. Today we learnt how to play the game Make 10. So far, three cards is the largest number of cards used to make 10. I wonder who will beat the record by the end of the week?

Check out some of our mathematicians learning to play this fun and competitive number knowledge game:
