Pedal Power

Keep an eye out our exciting P.E. adventure, coming soon!

Check out our Te Tuhi Art!



First we had to sketch a picture of ourselves in front of a background that represented our culture.


Then we had to trace over our sketch lines with vivid.


Then we used blue dye to colour our backgrounds.

And finally we coloured in our art with paint.

Solving Fraction Problems

In Maths we have started looking at some of the addition and multiplication strategies that we already use to solve fraction problems. We are focusing on using what we already know to try and solve problems we think might be too hard... It is not easy!


I was learning to solve fraction problems using addition and multiplication strategies.  We had to use kidpix to show how we solved our problems.  I found it easy because the questions were easy.  I did well with the first one because it was easy.  Next time I will work on my times tables - Bhawnvir.

I found it easy because I learn a lots of timetables and a lots of maths. One thing I did well is the timetables. Next time I will learn the hardest timetables - Matthew.

Contractions

We are learning to identify contractions in their expanded form as part of our reading. Check out this video of Charlotte playing one of the contractions games linked under out 'Literacy Learning Links'!

Learning to Sequence

In writing we are learning to sequence our ideas in our plan and use these words to help us with our recount story. Check out some of our completed work, we used Padlet to create our work in a digital format!


"In writing we have been learning to structure our recounts. We need to have an introduction that says who, what, when and where, a body that has two events, with a little but more detail and a conclusion that has a feeling" - Erin.


"Elisha has done a great job of having all the right things in his recount" - Alyssa.


For some of us it was really tricky but for some of us it was easy, we have included reflections about our work.
