Welcome back to our first blog post for Term 2. This term we will be sharing focusing on Maori whakatauki or proverb each month and a new Maori word each week. The kupu o te wiki was kura meaning school. This is how it can be used in a sentence:
Have a listen to our counting song we were using to help us think about groups within 5 in maths this week e.g. 2+1, 2+2, 2+3. By the end of the week some of us were working with groups up to 10..well done.
He nui taku kura.
My school is big.
The whakatauki for April is:
Sam and I are both very impressed with how the children have turned into real experts when it comes to folding and recycling their milk cartons, a great start to our Zero Waste topic
In buddy time this week we worked with our Room 5 buddies designing and making different types of paper transport including helicopters and planes.
As a part of our focus on the sound 'l' we created some lovely lions ......
...and learnt how to spell the tricky word ' look',
On Tuesday we had our first hockey lesson with Scotty. I was impressed by the skill level of the children and we are all looking forward to our next lesson in week 2.
On Thursday Sam helped us to learn about probability in maths by thinking about the things that Little Red Ridinghood would, would not and might, see on her walk through the woods.
In art we used the primary colours: red, yellow and blue plus the secondary colour green to make a background for out portraits.
