Term 2 , Week 7 and 8

This blog shows you some of the highlights from the last 2 weeks. Our whakatauki for June is based around the Maori New Year festival of Matariki


We have also learnt 2 new Maori kupu to add to our growing vocabulary.


We continued our Matariki theme in art when we used sponges to print the 7 Matariki stars surrounded by a kowhaiwhai pattern.


In drama we re-enacted the Matariki legend and then wrote about it using a 3 part plan to help our thinking.


In maths we made our own counting backwards patterns showing off how we can count backwards from 10 and with a bit of help from 20.


Sam taught us a new adding with 5 game called Murtle the Turtle.
 Our news groups are going well with some good sharing of ideas and well thought out questions.
We are building up a great kete of words we can read and spell through our weekly Tricky Word practice.

On Friday we enthusiastically took part in the whole school cross country ...finishing just before the rain set in.
