Creating

This week we read the book Clever Mr Brown. Mr Brown made an aeroplane that didn't fly very well. We had a go at making our own aeroplanes and then tested them out to see if they would fly.

Maths - strategy

LG: to solve addition and subtraction problems that involve 10 as one of the numbers.

Blake, your next step is to consistently solve these problems in your head (imaging).

Dance & Drama

Maui catches the Sun

Blake, even though you didn't end up performing you still learnt our class jump jam 'Kotahitanga'.

We were learning to:

·       Perform a movement phrase using locomotor and non-locomotor moves 

·       Work cooperatively with other children when performing a dance sequence 

·       Discuss how facial expression, movement, and gesture can be used to create meaning  

 This is us rehearsing our dance (unfortunately you aren't in this video)

Writing

Next Writing step: Blake, your next step is to use your word card to help you with writing high frequency words. 

Music

Music

 

This term we have been having fun playing on lots of different instruments in the music room. We have learnt how to identify the beat and play along with the music in time using the percussion instruments. We have also been learning how to play some chords on the ukulele. We have practiced singing songs and playing the ukulele at the same time and we persevered even when we found it a bit tricky to begin with. The students are working at the curriculum expectation for music.

Te Reo

This is us playing hopscotch. We are saying the numbers in Te Reo as we hop. 

We are learning to say count to 20 and beyond in Te Reo. We are learning the names of colours, animals and simple greetings.
