Compliments, Food for Life and sketch notes

We have been learning to give compliments that are strengths based and not about how people look. We are using the Compliments sheets from School Kit to help us.

Food for Life came to school on Monday and we had yummy potatoes and rice for lunch followed by some delicious custard. This week the school paid for all students ($2 each). Next week students are asked to give a $1 koha for their meal.

Waiting patiently for our yummy kai

We have started reading Dragon Defenders 4 All is Lost as part of #NZReadAloud. We did some sketch notes while listening to Mrs Bingham read.

Matariki and Mystery Skype

This week has been all about Matariki. It was fabulous to see our whanau come in and celebrate our learning with us. Here are some of the things we created:

We also Skyped a mystery school as part of the Moostery Challenge from Schoolkit. We had a fabulous time talking to Wanaka Primary School.

More FM Guest DJ, shared lunch and poetry

Wairingiringi was a guest speaker on More FM with John, Flash and Toast on Wednesday morning.

She received a $25 New World voucher and used it to buy shared lunch for the whole class. It was delicious!

Thanks Wairingiringi, More FM and New World!

We finally finished our class poem sheet and poetry postcards for #GetNZWriting and they are ready to send to Te Akau ki Papamoa Primary School in Tauranga next Wednesday.

#GetNZWriting

We have been taking part in Get NZ writing. Last week we created a class poem about the colour blue and this week we are working in pairs to write our own poems.

These are our writing prompts

Jayden and Ibanez researching their coin with a hole in it on the Chromebook.

Great teamwork from Tailah and Ahzaria-Lee. They are copying the poem they created into their writing books.

Manakitanga is arranging the words so they make the most impact and fit onto the postcard template.
