Friday's Friday

Good afternoon,

This morning, after we did a touch of poetry...


...we headed over to the library.





And, as per the usual way of things, we had a bit of TRUMP time after assembly.


Have a good weekend,

Mr Grant

Crepe Thursday

Good afternoon,

This morning, during maths...



...while Room 2 were cutting and pasting these images to create an undersea scene that demonstrated their understanding of translation, reflection and rotation, some lovely Year 7's dropped off some of what they have been learning in Room 7 of the French language and culture.


And a tasty time was had by me!

Mr Grant

Oh, and there is no dress up Friday tomorrow - that's next week.

Rotation Wednesday

Good afternoon,

This morning for Maths we discussed rotation as part of our Geometry unit.


The follow up activity was for the children to keep track of the propeller blades as they rotated by colouring them differently.







After morning tea we had a little reading, where Kakariki Reading Group did an information web concerning their text for this morning, Railway Dog...


...while Kahurangi went outside to create a Pic Collage story board of their book Awumpaluma...


...and Ma created information webs about an article in their School Journals entitled Nadia Paints Her Face.






Speaking of independent reading activities...


:-)

Speaking of Star Wars characters, our OLA-Dress-Up-As-Your-Favourite-Fictional-Character-Day is not this week as I put in the weekly newsletter, but the following (Week 9). Sorry about that.

No Photos Tuesday

Good afternoon,

Not much to report really. We had a great game of T-Ball / Softball this afternoon, which kept me too busy to bring out the camera, and this morning we continued our Maths learning with a bit of natural refelction...




Isn't our God creative?!

Tessellation Monday

Good afternoon,

This morning we started a new Geometry unit for maths - Tessellations (or Pattern Making)...



...where the children started to make transforming patterns of their by copying around some geometric shapes.





More tomorrow,

Mr Grant
