Library

While we were in the library this week another class came in and so we decided to read to them. These are the newest students to our school and it was fun to spend time with them. 

Also in the first picture is the newest addition to our class, Annabelle. We are so happy to have her join our class for the end of the year. 

String art

Today Michelle's mum came and taught us how to do string art. It is definitely trickier than it looks!  We used fine motor, problem solving, patterning and even some collaboration to achieve our beautiful finished products.  Our work is proudly on display in class before we bring them home later this term. Thanks Mrs Lim for sharing this new craft with us. 

Triple celebration!!

Three reasons to celebrate!

Happy birthday Jack!!

Welcome to our class, Miss Chow, our student teacher from Auckland Uni.

PPPs

Thank you to everyone who came to our class PPPs - Pupil Progress Presentations.  The children truly enjoyed sharing their learning with their parents and even a couple of grandparents came along.  It was wonderful hearing the children talking about their goals, successes, achievements and everyday classroom work. Using our Chromebooks was a great way to share their learning at our PPPs and now to be able to show it to those who were unable to attend.

Measurement

This week we have been working with measurement.  On Friday we had fun playing a game using measurement.  In groups of 4 we took turns choosing a card and naming a member of our group who we would measure.  We had to each estimate what the answer would be.  Then we measured the length and whoever was the closest won the card.













  

  

Maths Strategies

Today we worked with a partner to see how many different strategies we could use on one addition problem and one subtraction problem. We shared and explained one of the strategies we used with the class.

Cricket!

Five boys from our class have made the school cricket team. On Tuesday they will participate in a tournament at Lloyd Elsmore park. Good luck boys and have fun!!
