Maths

We are learning about Money. We are able to recognise NZ coins and their values. We have been using role play to purchase items using different coins to pay for the item e.g. We paid for a 50c apple using two 20c coins and one 10c coin or using one 50c coin. We would love to practice coin totals at home this week!

Te Reo

We have been learning new songs and actions in Te Reo this week. One song we have been learning in class are the Maori days of the week. Here they are:
Rahina - Monday
Ratu - Tuesday
Raapa - Wednesday
Rapare - Thursday
Ramere - Friday
Rahoroi - Saturday
Ratapu - Sunday

Today we visited the senior school to watch the kapa haka group perform a powhiri. It was very exciting for us to watch the actions and listen to the singing!

Jump Rope for Heart

We have been keeping fit this term through our skipping programme. We have learnt new jumps and been very diligent in practicing these not only in the morning but in our break times as well! We have learnt how to perform a basic jump, skier jump and bell jump. On Friday mornings we practice jumping over a long rope.

Magic Hats

We read Magic Hats by Mem Fox. Come into Room 2 and look at our magical hats we drew using paint, dye and other materials. Above are 2 examples.
