Kowhai Tree planting

Today our school planted some special Kowhai trees.

We had an assembly to celebrate this. We had Matthew come back to Hinuera School to read a karakia and bless the trees. 

Jolly Phonics - 'ng' sound

Today the Jolly Phonics sound that one of our groups focused on was 'ng'.

We did some dictation and wrote lots of words that have the 'ng' sound in them.

We are also working hard to form our letters correctly.

Look at all the words we could write!
