New Writing Goal

Mitchell L has achieved his writing goal. He  now writes a lot more than one sentence! His stories contain lots of information.  This story about cross country was fun to read.  Yes you certainly did do your best.

Coach Mike

Brayden and Mitchell are playing a game called Coach Mike. Mitchell set the game up using our class P E gear. Mitchell gave the instructions. Mitchell made sure Brayden understood the rules. He wasn't allowed to pick up the trapped ball. The tricky part was you couldn't pick up the skipping ropes.

Achieving My Maths Goal

Today Mitchell achieved his Maths Goal. He has been learning patterns to 5 e.g. 3+2, 1+4, 5+0 etc. He was able to show his learning to his teachers. Terrific learning Mitchell!

Author's Chair

Mitchell has been working really hard during Write To Self time. When he started he used to draw pictures in his book but now he is writing letters and words from his word card. You are a great author, Mitchell.

I was the superhero!

My Puppet

Here is a picture of Mitchell and his puppet, Max. Te Kakano made puppets for Friday Surprise Day and our Whakangahau. We had to think about all the parts our puppets would need. We also had to show persistence to make sure the parts stayed on and looked how we planned it. 

 "My Puppet has three eyes. It has hair and it has a nose button. It has a button at the back too. I had to keep trying to put the button on. I glued it on and that was hard because I had to hold the bottom bit and the sock."

Working On My Writing Goal

Mitchell has been working hard on his writing goal. He has learnt to hold a pencil or pen correctly. Great work!

Working At The Wood Bench

Today Mitchell worked on the wood work bench making a car.  He used milk bottle tops for the wheels.  He worked for a long time on his car and used lots of bits and peices he found to add to his car.  He found out that some things are easier to hammer a nail through than others.

Floating And Sinking

After making boats and testing them to see if they floated or sank the children become very interested in what makes objects sink or float.  Mitchell tested out his ideas in the water.
  "I think the shell will float. Oh it sank! I can put things in the cup before it sinks. 15 things in the cup before it sank.  That is a record."
