Reading in the right direction

I am learning to point to each word as I read in the right direction.

Story Writing

We are learning to write down our ideas and draw a picture to match.

In the beginning ...                                   and now!

"I am remembering to do finger spaces." said Mohammad

Numbers to 10

I am learning to recognise as well as read and write numbers to 10.  I am able to write all my numbers to 10 correctly. I am still working on number 3.

"I can write up to 10 by myself." said Mohammad.

Tread Lightly Caravan visit

The Tread lightly Caravan visit was teaching us that the environment is everything around us in nature and that the environment is really important for us to live (trees for oxygen, water to drink, plants for food etc.) so we need to look after it.

"I am squirting the water to make my seed grow big. Then I can eat it I think."

Planting a garden

We are learning to care for our environment. We will make our school look beautiful.

Our class planted flowers and some vegetables for making a pizza. 

Mohammad said, " Look at the roots. It is a big plant."

Shape Pictures

We are learning to recognise 2d shapes in every day life.

Room 0 have been busy exploring shapes in a range of different ways.  One activity we did was to choose a range of 2d shapes and put them together to create a picture.  By doing this nga tamariki are able to see how shapes can be seen all around us every day.

"It's a house", said Mohammad.

Recognising Sight Words

We are learning to recognise the magenta sight words.

In Reading nga tamariki have been making great progress pointing to each word and using the pictures to help them read a sentence.  Each week we have a new "word of the week" and students do their best to identify that word in their book.

"I am reading my book", said Mohammad.
