Just for those of us that might need to ask Google what they are :) Done for you dot com. LEARN!
Mr Robertson fell in love with the book 'Treasure Beyond Measure' by author Helen Griffiths. So much so that he bought a book for each class!
We used the book, storylines, contents and characters to create our own illustrations and to then write about our new knowledge. CREATE!
These pictures are on display in our cloakroom so please come and check them out as we love to SHARE!
As part of showing our smart, Mrs T wanted us to share with you how great we are doing at ordering our numbers.
We chose the lolly stick number game to order numbers between 1 and 20! We are very proud of our hard work :)
Te Kākano have been super busy this week! We have seen so much awesome learning happening away from school and in so many ways.
Lambs, Skinks and Plovers have all been a part of week 6 alongside getting ready for Fathers Day too!
Ice cream, cookies and slices have been baked. Pounamu green stone has been found and heaps of amazing LEGO creations have been designed, built, broken and rebuilt!
Google MEETs have happened daily and we have all shared our news. Our Covid Levels have moved from Level 4 down to Level 3 which has seen some of our friends going back to school too!
Mrs V and Mrs T have loved seeing all the work and Mrs Royfee, Mr Robertson and Lynda have been amazed on MEET to see and hear everyone's news and ideas.
I have created a file with more photos on for you to enjoy :)
Structured Literacy may well be new terminology for some of us but the idea that the way we learn to read is scientifically proven will not be. We know so much more about a learners brain and its functions.
Researchers are flooding the globe with 'why' it is the way to go for so many learners.
This short YouTube offers you an easy to understand but informative overview of the importance of the early literacy skills we are explicitly teaching - in simple terms - Reading is NOT caught, it IS taught :)
Covid-19 Lockdown Level 4...NO worries about our learning stopping - we just head on over to our class website and have a heap of learning fun with all our awesome learning slides! Thanks Mrs T and Mrs V :)
We also get to Google MEET with our friends each day. Mr Robertson, Lynda and Mrs Royfee join in too! We are learning how to use our devices to do things like change backgrounds, mute and unmute our mics and leave chat messages!
We have slides for all sorts of learning including some Wellbeing, Reading, Writing, Maths, Fitness, Baking, Science and even making Playdough! Check these out!
AWESOME writing, concentric circles, names made from tie-wraps!!!
Max and his dad shared,
"Today I went for two bike rides with Finn, Mum and Dad.
I also made Mud in the Garden next to my trampoline.
I have been practicing reading and writing my heart words."
Max and Simon
Enjoy even more of your amazing mahi Te Kākano - you are awesome!
