Autumn Leaf Hunt

Today we went for an Autumn leaf hunt.

We found lots of leaves that had changed colour and had fallen to the ground!

We had lots of discussions around what the leaves looked like and how they felt.

Keep an eye out on our blog for some awesome descriptive writing coming soon!

Sight words

We are learning to read and write lots of sight words. Shay made some of the words he knows with the letter bricks and read them in literacy time.

Way to go, Shay!

Ink on inky

We are learning about the letter i and the sound that it makes - 'i'

These words have an 'i' sound in them:

ink, inky, igloo, Izzy, Tahlia, brick, ship, lips and Indian. Patricia has 2 i's in her name!

Making 10

Today in maths some of the clever cookies in Room 2 were looking at the different ways we can add numbers up to 10. We used the numicon shapes to help us.

Look at some of the ways we could make 10!

Our whānau/family art

We drew some amazing pictures of our 

whānau/family.

Have a look at our works of art!

Hiwi the Kiwi

Today the we had the Hiwi the Kiwi show at school. We learnt all about safe fishing and making sure we fish for our future.

We know that we do not take small fish because we need to let them grow. We also shouldn't take big fish because they might have babies.

We loved the songs and actions.

Athletics Day

Today was Athletics day.

We did lots of different events and had lots of fun.

We even had a special gold medal winning visitor who helped us with a new event that we got to try - rowing!

Thank you to everyone who came and watched us. We all tried so hard to do our best and had lots of fun!
