- Especially in Te Kākano!
We have started to discuss Tally Marks, Tally Charts, Pictograms, Bar Graphs and Data! YES, we're only 5 but we ARE HERO Mathematicians :)
Our Big Book this week is 'Kei roto i te moana' so we've also been exploring creatures who live in the seas and oceans, especially around Aotearoa!
We have been counting them, sorting them and using them in our Statistics discussions! We also made a short video showing how we use our bodies to make a tally count for '5' :)
We are still loving using The Gingerbread Man to help us with our learning.
Today we all had a go at finishing off repeat patterns using the characters in the story. We had to look carefully at each row and work out which picture came next. Some had a 2-repeat and some had a 3-repeat pattern which was tricky for some of us!
We chatted about our work with Mrs T and we showed her how we could make our work EVEN better!
...You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man!
Te Kākano NE class has really enjoyed reading different versions of the traditional tale recently and we have even thought up our own characters that we could add into our stories! Cool! We have made finger puppets to use in our Box Theatre and we have also designed our own Gingerbread Men too!
We really enjoyed baking our own Gingerbread Men together - it was so much fun! We wrote out the recipe for Mrs V so she knew what to buy from the supermarket and we made a heap of them for our kai!
Yum, Yum, Yum! We felt as happy as the fox in the story :)
Modelling, scaffolding and supporting our print family for the week - c, o and a :)
Super proud of the independent writing happening in Te Kākano NE
Today, Te Kakano had a great surprise 😊 all our tamariki were gifted a brand new Tupperware water bottle from Oliver’s mum, Kelly!
A massive thank you Kelly from us all - we love them! 🎉
...Aren't we awesome!
New Entrants are totally enjoying being dolphins in our school pool :) The instructors from Jelly Park are really fantastic. We are learning heaps of new water skills over the next two weeks :)
What better way to start the year than with your new friends!
We are exploring our new class and learning all about being at school 👌
There are so many things to play and learn with. We are getting used to our new routines and settling in brilliantly! We went for a walk around school and met Mr Robertson we told him that we had the best time in Te Kakano class, we love it!
