Week 10

This is the last week of Term 2. We are looking forward to the holidays. We have all got lots of fun things planned. Teresa is going to sleep in. We are all good readers at school and we are going to keep reading in the holidays.

This week we are learning the word 'said' and the sounds for 'h'; 'ai'; 'r'; and 'j'. At maths we are learning to skip count in 2's. We are also learning to skip with a skipping rope. It is hard work but fun. We are getting better at this.

Matariki


Today we celebrated Matariki, the Maori New Year.


We made putiputi with Teresa and Susan. Then we went to Room 11 and we painted star pictures with silver goo with Tracy. After that we went to Room 12 and made stars with Caroline.


We had to work hard to do all these things. We had lots of fun.


At lunch time all the children from Kowhai Syndicate ate their lunch together in front of the hall.

We are learning to use Tux Paint and Kidpix to illustrate our stories!

Week 8

We are now into Week 8 - the holidays are coming up fast.

This week we are learning the sounds for 'p', 'n', 'u', and 'l'; and the words 'for' and 'and'. We are getting good at recognising our sounds and using them in our writing. We are also good at recognising words in our reading books and poems.

Today four children and two teachers from Campus Corner came to visit us. Willem went to Campus Corner, and he still goes there after school, so it was nice for him to show his friends his classroom. We read a story about a cat and a dog being friends then we made a dog. Our dogs were very noisy! We enjoyed the Campus Corner people visiting us.
