Marae Trip

On Thursday we went to Te Awhina Marae and Kaiteriteri

The people on the marae were very friendly and welcoming and were pleased to see us

We looked at the carvings in the meeting house and then we went to the church to learn what it was about. I liked looking at the carvings and seeing all t he stuff in the meeting house. I liked how the other school sang songs.

First we had lunch then we got to play on the playground and I played on the slide with Hannah and Abbey. My favorite part was going down the slide six times.

Fantastic photos Room 4! You all look like you saw and learnt about many interesting things on this trip. What was your best part of the trip?

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.
