Play Based Learning

Playing 'schools' with Olivia - taking turns telling time.

Making words and counting with Indy.


Problem Solving and discovering.

Science

P.E - Large Balls

WALT:  Develop handling and control skills of a large ball using our hands with a partner and in small groups.
Perform rolling an object with control over distances.
Roll different objects with accuracy.

Technology

WALT: Follow the technological design process to create a boat.

We used what we had learned in science about floating and sinking to ensure that it didn't sink. We looked carefully at the materials we used, as we wanted the materials to be light and waterproof so that they wouldn’t soak up water.

We also learned through testing, that it was important that our boat was balanced so that it stayed upright and didn’t flip over.

Te Reo Māori

WALT: Understand and say our mihi / pepeha including our name, the names of our parents and our school in Te Reo Māori.

Science

Floating and Sinking

WALT:  Make a prediction and test it.

Oliver is exploring what floats and what sinks.

He was able to classify what sinks and what floats.

Writing

Oliver is learning to use his word card to spell high frequency words and write the dominant sounds in words he doesn't know.

 

Reading

Blue Level 9

We are learning to check that the words look right, sound right and make sense.

Values and Beliefs

We shared with our buddy the things that we like and they shared what they like. We found we had some things in common and some differences. This discussion helped us to learn how to "connect" with others in our school.

All About Me

I like to play with toys and I love playing with my brother.  We have fun stuff.  I like playing with my 'Pups'.  I snuggle up with my Pups.  

I don't like anything scary.  Sometimes the darkness is scary.  I don't like doing work at school.  

At school I like playing and being on iPads.  I like going onto photo apps.  I like pretend games.
