Kia Ora all

Today we did an activity about precise vocabulary. We came up with some sub headings for paragraphs and then moved around and added words related to that sub heading. We came up with precise words for paragraphs including playgrounds, sport, library, extra-curricular activities, swimming pool.

Here we are at work.

We are going to use the words to help us with our next paragraph.

 

 

 


Kauri Assembly

Today we ran the Kauri Assembly. Many students had the chance to speak; some helped with taking photos, taking care of the music and organising the sports gear.

Here we are.
Congratulations to NOAH who received the RESPECT certificate for being an amazing role model of our Respect CARE values.

Kia Ora

It has been a wet week with a lot of time spent inside. Hopefully the rain will depart and the sun will arrive so we can get out outside more.

Yesterday we gave out a large number of mathletics certificates. Here we all are, proud as anything.



And, from the I'VE FINALLY FOUND IT corner of Room 5 comes the protracted hunt for Georgia's missing GOLD mathletics certificate. The case has been solved, and here she is, all smiles and happiness. Well done, Georgia.



Today we wrote a paragraph for our information report on our classroom. We first brainstormed all the topic related vocabulary we could think of, and then looked at a range of sentence starters, conjunctions and conditions. We will share our paragraphs with you all tomorrow. Be prepared to be amazed.
