Water

This week in sustainability we have been finding out about water. Water is important because it helps plants grow and they would die without it. You can set up a watering system at home by using a plastic bottle to put in the ground next to the plants and drip feeding them. You can also put a timer onto your garden hose so that you don't waste water. We found out that the Maori word for water is wai.

 

Vortex

Today we had a go at throwing the vortex. Look at us go!

The Magic 'E'

The Magic ……

We have been reading about the magic ‘e’ and how it changes words like mad to made, slid to slide and mop to mope. When it is at the end of a word it makes the vowel go from a short to long sound, it makes the vowel say its name.

We hope you like the poem? We put a lot of effort into it.

‘o’ Meets Magic ‘e

Have you met the magic ‘e’,

Who likes to cast a spell?

And change a word with a trick,

It does it very well.

It uses a little trick of it’s own

to cast a little spell.

It changes words like hop  

to hope it does it very well.

It changes words like cop

to cope see now they are not

the same.

It changes words like not

to note so the ‘o’ now says it's name.

This special letter in the alphabet

is bossy can’t you see?  

Because the the way it changes words makes it the magic ‘e’

Lost property

Lost Property

Mia and Mya have been on a mission to get rid of the lost property around the school.

They have found clothes, toys, sports equipment, and loads of other stuff.

Their message is simple. 

Pick up after yourself ! Let's respect our environment.

Creating PicCollage

We have been learning how to use PicCollage to capture some of our learning during Daily 5 time...have a look at what we created.

Created using Pic Collage. http://pic-collage.com

This is my family that I made at free art during daily 5. It even has a stand to keep it up.

Flag Design

In maths we have been using fractions to design flags. For these flags we have used thirds.
These flags are one third orange, one third green and one third blue. We found out that 4 is one third of 12.

More volume and capacity! We're estimating and guessing the volume of different containers and comparing. Some of the little containers hold a lot more than we thought!!

Learning to use PicCollage to record some of our building activities

Me on the map of the world...

In Tautoru we have been working on out community writing which is centred around "Me on the Map". We started with me, my room, my community, my city and my country. We coloured our maps and then drew a line to where we come from!
