Patterns to five

I am learning to make patterns of five.  I can play a game to help me learn.

" I can put two numbers to make 5." said Vunara.

Owl babies

We are learning to publish our writing for an audience, because we are authors. In Room 3 we try to present our work in many different and interesting ways to encourage people to come and read our fabulous stories!

"I can write 2 or 3 sentences by myself" said Vunara.

High frequency words.

I am learning to read and write my high frequency words independently.

"I can write and robot the words for reading and story writing."said Vunara

Matariki

Our classroom celebrated Matariki, which is the Maori New Year. We came to school in our pyjamas and had a yummy breakfast together! It is great to share time with our whanau.

"It was so exciting. I had my pyjamas at school and I had some breakfast. "

Kai and Korero Evening

At the start of the year Elm Park School had a Kai and Korero evening. Our families, students and teachers got together to share what happens in our classrooms and then we finished with a picnic.

"My Mum comes to school every day and my Dad comes to. My family is kind, so kind."

Tread Lightly Caravan visit

The Tread lightly Caravan visit was teaching us that the environment is everything around us in nature and that the environment is really important for us to live (trees for oxygen, water to drink, plants for food etc.) so we need to look after it.

"My mum came to. She is helping to grow the plants."

Story Writing

We are learning to write down our ideas and draw a picture to match.

In the beginning.....                                         and now!

 

"I can do finger spaces. I can do sounds, www water!" said Vunara
