Jemima's learning 15 April

Kia ora koutou.  Jemima has shared photos of her writing, maths and spelling.  I have highlighted the title and the good use of capital letters, ka pai!  Great to see you using playing cards to learn about place value.  Well done using your spelling words in sentences, and for your handwriting.

Thank you Susanna for your Easter story.  I wonder what time you were up if it was still dark? It must have been very early!  I like your colourful picture and the detail in your writing.

Maggie's Easter recount

Thank you Maggie for sharing your writing this morning.  I have highlighted all the great full stops and capital letters that you have included.  I wonder how long it took you to find eleven eggs, and what did they taste like?

Thank you to Jemima for sharing her letter writing with us.
She has been very busy and has lots of teeth missing that is making the tooth fairy very poor.

Butterfly Art

We have created butterflies using black PVA glue for the outline and water colour paint to make the patterns on the butterflies. The background was created to look like the swan plant.

Our assembly

To parents and whanau who missed our assembly on Friday. Here  is our presentation.

Learning about how to use Explain Everything

We have been learning how to use Explain Everything to draw pictures of how to make popcorn and write the instructions. Some of us then recorded the instructions using Explain Everything.

Caught being Good

At our assemblies on Fridays, we give out certificates to students who, during the week have demonstrated our school values in our classroom or out in the playground. This week we had two boys who earned these certificates. Advait  Nair for settling into our class so well. Harley Beckham for making sure that we have a clean and tidy classroom.

Cybersmart How to look after our ipads

When the Manaiakalani facilitator came into our class we learnt about how to take care of our Ipads. Then we used Pic collage to create a poster that showed what we learnt,

Bella's cicada shells

What a big morning counting cicada shells!  They were divided up and spread around our maths learning tables where each group made groups of ten so they could skip count easily.  Some tables had 160 cicadas, that is 16 groups of ten.  One group had 70 cicadas, that was 7 groups of ten.
Lots of skip counting in tens to 100, then in 100s to get our final total of 915 cicada shells.
The closest guess came from Keearas' whanau with Ashleigh guessing 889.  Ka pai Ashleigh!

Greedy Cat and Statistic

We have been learning how to sort objects into categories, make a display of the data collected (pictograph) and talk about about the data display.

It is so hot at school The pool's the best place to be!

Here are a few photos of our class in the pool.

The weather has been great for swimming.

We have most students swimming.  

Our focus is kicking with long legs with and without a flutter board.

We are using the whole length of the pool to gain fitness.

Writing Recount

Recount Writing

This week we have been working on how to write a recount. After going on our adventure the students wrote their recounts our focus is to make sure we have a title, introduction and then use time sequencing words in the recount

Our Adventure

This morning we all went to line up because we were going to the garden. 
First, we walked to the garden. Next, we went to the forest and we found
some cicadas.  We picked them up and went back to class.
Finally, we went back to class and looked at the cicadas in the box.

Guess How Many ?

 Guess How Many?

Miss Stewart asked the class how many cicadas were in the tin. The students had to guess what number of cicadas there would be in the tin. Then a  group of students grouped the cicadas into groups of 5 and share this picture with the class and they all counted the groups. The answer was 105 cicadas. Miss Stewart guessed 100 so she was the closest.
