WALT read to an audience using expression


My reflection:
Sometimes it is tricky to read using expression because I don't use expression that much and I don't know how to do it sometimes.
Sometimes it's easy because I just have to say the words.
The next step for me might be to speak clearly and I can try and do this by reading a play with my group.

Celebrating Matariki at the Auckland Museum - Ta Moko


On Monday 3rd July we visited the Auckland Museum and took part in learning about Matariki - The Måori New Year.  We heard a story about Tå Moko - Måori patterns and design on the face - and we also learnt a song about this using some of our native bird names 
- Pekapeka (Bat) Kaka (Parrot), Ruru (Owl) and Kiwi.

We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed our time looking at some of the other 
exhibits on display at the museum.

IALT Choose Words To Make My Writing More Interesting


We have learnt lots of interesting facts about Pukeko.  
We used a word-bank to record our interesting words and then wrote about them.
We coloured in a Pukeko picture and used the QR Code Reading app "Quivervision" to bring our 
Pukeko pictures to life in 3D.
We were so amazed watching our Pukeko moving around and eating a worm with their long beaks.
Next time you are in our classroom come and have a look and a play.

I Am Learning How To Read Graphs And Talk About Them

(We have used the Statistics activities on Mathletics to practice what we have been learning.)

For our Maths Strand this term we have been learning all about Statistics.

We have collected different kinds of data and assembled this information onto the graphs.
Then we have made statements about the things we can see on the graphs.
The next time you visit our classroom check-out the different graphs we have made on the walls.

We are learning how to get in and out of the pool and be safe around water.
