I am learning my basic facts

We have been learning our basic facts in class. On the ipads I can play the game, slide maths, with my friends to practice. I loved playing this and look forward to getting better at my maths!

I am learning to retell the story.

I am learning to create and use simple graphic organisers with support

We have been learning how to use popplet on the laptops/ ipads. This is my brainstorm about my bedroom. 

"I am learning to make a brainstorm. I am proud of myself for thinking about lots of ideas. It can be tricky to sound out words."

Art Exhibition 2017

For the 2017 Elm Park School Art Exhibition we created our own butterflies. Here is my painted butterfly and also my Kidpix butterfly.

"I am proud of my butterfly because it is so cute. I found it tricky to do the background because the lines were circle."

I am learning to recognise the word 'am'.

Reading Eggs is one of our favourite activities to play on the laptops.

"I am learning the word am. I find it tricky. I am proud of myself for getting to map 3."

I am learning to write a cinquain poem.

We have been learning how to write cinquain poems. We will be successful when we:

•  use descriptive language
•  follow the structure of a cinquain poem. 
•  not repeat the same words.

A cinquain poem is made up of 5 lines. 
This first line is one word (title).
The second line is two describing words.
The third line is three verbs (doing words).
The fourth line is four words to describe a feeling. 
The fifth line is one word.

This cinquain poem is on my favourite colour!

Celebrating Matariki in Room 8/26

Matariki is the Maori New Year, it is an important Maori celebration. The seven stars that make up Matariki are Matariki, Tupu-a-nuku, Waiti, Waita, Waipuna-a-rangi and Ururangi. There are lots of different ways to celebrate Matariki such as through music, songs, food and family.       

In Room 8/26 we celebrated Matariki by having a feast, making star cookies, reflecting on our goals for the term, learning a waiata (song) and going to the Auckland Museum to learn more about Matariki.

We are learning to tell the time.

In Room 8/26 we have been learning how to tell the time. We have been focusing on o'clock and half past. 

Check out our awesome clocks we made next time you are in the classroom.

We are learning how to catch and pass small balls.

For PE we have been learning how to catch and pass small balls. 

To pass the ball we need to have our hands up in the shape of a W and push the ball out from our chest. To catch the ball we need to have our hands up ready.

We have been showing our school value of Resilience by not giving up.
