Manaakitanga: Kid President

Our focus is Manaakitanga, we thought the Kid President's "20 things you should say more often" links to this. This will (hopefully) encourage us to say nice things to each other. We have posted questions from @kidsedchatnz as padlets. Please answer the questions below:

Wellington - Our windy little city by Mya Simpson

Wellington - Our windy little city 

by Mya Simpson

What a pity our little city is so windy. 

What a pity our city is so windy on a wet Wellington day.

The waves crash against the rocks. 

The waves crash against the rocks on a wet Wellington day.

The skirts fly. The skirts fly into the windy wet Wellington wind.

The hats blow away. The hats blow away into the windy wet Wellington wind.

Oh what a windy little city.

Assembly 21.8.15

This morning we had a brilliant assembly. Autahi shared some great lighthouse art. Tautoru shared some writing about the community they also shared a song about a doughnut shop. Matariki and Mahutonga shared some poems. We sang a new song called Budapest. Hamish had a huge pile of awards to give out! The focus has been on using Maanakitanga.

We had heaps of fun with the time telling. Here's some feedback we gave about the lessons. Jupiter thought that the numbers around the outside of the clock were really helpful for knowing the minutes. Lizzie liked that we got to make our own clocks. Jessie thought it was fun that everyone got a turn!

We have been working on time and reading clocks. We made our own clocks and made a human sized clock. We had to figure out who would be the minute and hour hands and then we came up with a time and showed it. Can you tell what time each clock shows?

For work on writing during daily 5 today these guys worked on word power
