Ordering Fractions

We were asked to order fractions smallest to biggest. We worked together as a group to complete the task.

We each got a slice of bread and had to cut the bread into fractions.

Some of us made mistakes... But that is ok because we know that we learn from our mistakes and a "FAIL" is a first attempt in learning. 

We are all able to order fractions...

Travelling Tales: Bob the Big White Shark

We have been involved in the first travelling tale. "This is a club that is designed to connect children to other schools so they can collaborate to create short stories to share with the world." This tale has been to Luxembourg, Taiwan and New Zealand.

Students in Nicola's literacy group helped to come up with the ideas for the middle part of the story (the problem/ dilema). Molly, Marnie, Hadley, Lachlan and Nye's voices are heard in this tale.

Transition: Autahi to Tautoru

It's transition time. Autahi students are coming through to work with our Year 1 and 2 students in Tautoru because they will be working together next year. We drew superheroes and gave them character strengths. 

Getting ready for next year...

Today we got together with the Year 3, 4 and 5 students to start getting to know each other and work together. Today we started by looking at what character strengths animals have.

Environmental Writing

Today was a beautiful Wellington day. We took advantage of the weather and wrote outside. 

Hadley's poem:
Grass twitching
Birds flapping
Children running
Sea boats making noise
Pizza oven grilling
Sausages sizzling
People silent
Kids sing songs
Fish paintings
View of the water

Blakey Movie

Blakey is from Tauranga Intermediate School. He was gifted to us by Mr Carlin. Blakey has been helping us to learn how to make a movie. We had lots of fun putting this movie together.

Thank you Mr Carlin and Tauranga Intermediate School!
