In maths we've been exploring time. We've been estimating how much of something we can do in a minute and then measuring it. We've found that a minute is a lot longer than we thought--especially when you're doing star jumps or sit-ups!

Maths, time

We've been working on word families and building our bank of words. This is the -an word family word power.

Reading to Someone

I like reading to a buddy during Daily 5. Today I was reading a book called Food Patterns. When I read to a buddy I have to use a readers voice. It needs to be clear and I need to use a characters voice when I am reading the character's part in the book.

Word Families

During Daily 5 I have been practising my an word family. I know that clan, pan, Dan, man, Stan, ran, fan, van, tan, are all part of the an word family.

Reading: What do you think?

We have put the questions about reading on the padlets below. Double click on the padlet to add your ideas. We are looking forward to hearing what you have to say about reading...

During maths week we worked together and solved problems!

Here Tautoru are solving problems during Maths week. We got into groups of 6 and had 5 mins to solve the problems in front of us. We had to read the questions, work as a team and figure out the answer together. We got points based on how many we got right, the strategy we used and how fast we did it. It was a lot of fun! 

Hangman

During Daily 5 I was doing work on writing. Today we were playing Hangman.
I was doing my Mum's name and it was tricky to get because it was only 2 letters but hard to guess.
I like doing Daily 5 because you get to choose things and do all of the choices around the room.
