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 like the words I used. It looks like a big story. My Owl looks so fluffy."

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, so much fun. My Dad made all of the milo with lots of marshmallows. I think we should have breakfast at school again. My Mum got all the food and I helped her."

Retelling

I am learning to retell a story so that I can say what is happening in the story.

"I can go back and read it again when it doesn't sound right" said Noah

Story Writing

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

In the beginning ....                                   and now!

"I am learning to do neat writing, because I want to make people read the story very well." said Noah

Groupings with 5

I am learning to know the sum of 5 and any other number to 5.  I know to start with 5 in my head and count on.   I am able to do this without help from materials.

" I can put 5 in my head and then count on to the number on the dice." said Noah

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.

"I remembered, only rain goes down the drain!"

Wiggly Worms

We were learning about our Worm farm and how to look after it. All the leftover fruit and vegetables in the worm bucket feeds the worms. 

Noah said, "This is a Tiger worm. They are very wiggly."
