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 Writing Goal

Mitchell has been working hard on his writing goal.  He can independently hear the first sound in each word. Well done Mitchell.  I wonder what writing goal you will choose next to work on?

Riding Our Bikes

Reading and writing about things you enjoy makes literacy fun.  We have been reading lots of books about bikes and racing.   We wrote a letter home asking if we could bring our bike or scooter to school.  We had lots of fun and we shared our bikes and scooters with the children who couldn't bring their bikes that day. 

We were all a bit tired after all that racing around!

Alba helped Lawrie ride her bike.  "Look ahead Lawrie I'll push 

  

 you!"

Kairangi demonstrated to the other children how to use the brake on the scooter to help you to stop.

Sharing Equally

In maths we have been learning about sharing equally.  Today we used pretend pizza bases to help us learn how to share equally into halves and in quarters.  We made pizza toppings with  play dough.  We then shared these toppings equally in halves and in quarters.  We discovered that if you can skip count it sometimes helps to work out how many toppings in each section of the pizza quicker.

Writing a Letter Home

Tomorrow we are going to ride our bikes at school.  We are learning and reading about lots of different bikes and what they can do.   We wrote a note home asking if we could bring our bikes to school.  Fingers crossed I am allowed too.  Whoops I forgot to write I need to bring my bike helmet too!

Author Chair 3

Wow Mitchell you are on the author's chair again!
   "I like the book Honey Honey in my box.  I have been copying out the words."
 Fantastic Mitchell.  Your letter e's look great.  Have you been practicing writing them ?
