Welcome to our blog that gives you a peek into what we have been up to last during Week 4 of this term.
The whakatauki for this month is:
Te kupu o te wiki was kaiako meaning teacher. You could use it like this; He kaiako ahau , I am a teacher.
The slide show below shows some examples of us learning about length in maths by comparing the lengths of all the different slides in school, measuring things with our feet and measuring our feet with a variety of non-standard units including cubes and dominoes. Later in the week we took a look at weight by using bucket scales to compare the weight of different objects. You will also see the fun we got up to in this week's Discovery Time and our collection of objects for the colour of the week which was brown. We hope you enjoy our photos
Our poem this week was linked to the leaf rubbings we dd in art and to the tricky word 'down' that we learnt on Tuesday
