Christmas 2021

 We had a lot of fun making Reindeer Cookies and Christmas decorations this week.

We used arrowroot biscuits, nutella, M&Ms and pretzels to make our delicious reindeer cookies. It was a lovely treat!

Asttle Writing-Narrative writing

Teacher Note - ‘UNASSISTED’ ASTTLE WRITING

The children write for a total of 40 minutes. Within that timeframe they have to plan their writing (a brainstorm) write, edit and re-craft their work. They are not allowed to use dictionaries or word cards. The students completed their writing on paper but have typed it out for their blogs.

WALT write a creative narrative story!

Once upon a time Harry Potter woke up in Hogwarts. Harry Potter saw things disappearing. Harry heard whispering but he did not see who was whispering. He went back to sleep ... zzzz. Then BANG! He got hit. He woke up. He said, "I know what todo". He started seeig people disappearing. He said, "I have no idea what to do now." He did not know it was a witch that was whispering to make people disappear. When Harry found out, he made a spell to make the witch disappear and the witch was never seen again.

Science

We are learning all about science.

We are learning about different science like circuits, gravity and what makes water dry up faster shade or sun. My favourite experiment was when we had to get a cup of water and out an ice cream lid on top. We turned the cup upside down and took our hand away and guess what, the lid stayed on. It only came off when I gave it a good shake!

Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori

When we had Whaea Seroya we were learning Te Reo in Te Manga like pahi-Bus, poro-Ball, ka pai -Good, kemu-Game, Arai Mata-face mask. We have also done wheku masks, pukapuka and played whare whare kemu. It is a bingo game and we learnt maori words for fruit and we did a kupu o Te Ra which is a word a day. Now I am going  To tell you more maori words;

• pukapuka - book
• papama pene - whiteboard marker
• kuaha - door
• whira - field
• pai to ra - have a good day

My favourite maori word is papa takaro for playground and my favourite thing we did was the pukapuka book.

Thank-you Whaea Seroya
