Today room 4 led assembly

We did our play, shared a few of our power points, and demonstrated the moves to the song "Jesus in my Life"

Shakyla's puppies came to visit

My dog called Please had 5 puppies. their names are Lily Kevin Brodie Ruby and my favorite, Jessie. The father is a black Labrador and the mother is a mix.

On the Friday of Maori language week spent the whole day doing Harakeke, Kowhaiwhai patterns, making Rakau Sticks and Poi. It was great. Danielle's favorite was poi making. Esther's was Harakeke. Leroy also enjoyed Harakeke, and Nicholas liked the Kowhaiwhai patterns. Caitlyn and Kyla liked the Rakau sticks because you got to decorate them yourself.

Snow falls on the ground

Ice freezes the snowy pond

Reading

STRATEGY - Making Connections

Text to self - When we make a link between the text and our own prior knowledge and experience.

Summarising

Using information webs and other graphic organisers to present the main ideas and facts we have read about. Later we use this to make google slides to share with others.

Writing

Descriptions of a moment in time

We will learn the correct tense and how to use our five senses to write descriptions about our special places and moments in time e.g. watching dogs on a beach. Mondays we will have fun with narrative stories.

To proofread our work we will use PIGS - check Punctuation (capital letters, full stops...), Interesting words (adjectives, technical words, precise verbs, similes), Grammar (present tense), Spelling (find errors and underline, look some up).

Maths

Addition and subtraction - looking at two main strategies: using ones and tens, and using tidy numbers. Number knowledge: adding to 100 e.g. 75 + .... = 100, and calculating how many 10s and 100s are in a number (plus many other knowledge goals). We will be beginning to memorise x2, x10 and x5 tables. We will study geometry - rotations, turns, reflections, slides.
